[ATM] Melting Pyrex..

["Russell Jocoy" <russjocoy@hotmail.com>]

    Craig, and the list,

     Your photos of melted Pyrex trying to meld with ceramic surfaces are a 
nice science
project... It has taken others  to attempt this cause to spend many dollars 
to complete
your experiment. Has it been successful?? Ask Corning Glass Works, or any 
other glass
producer.  The answer is in your experiments.. Try small first and them  get 
larger after
success.  I don't think that this is the way to go. Using two differnet 
materials is always a
no, no,... If these two materials can be combined molecularly(sp) the 
problem becomes
a new material. One layer of Pyrex and one layer of ceramic material , (even 
if you could
somehow bond them in a kiln) would bend and heave to no end because of their 
different
thermal attitudes...    Russ Jocoy...    Let me know I have some chunks of 
Pyrex for your
kiln to melt...
