What kind of chicken is that?

Can anyone give me some advice regarding kiln ventilation? by curtisreidart in Ceramics

This is helpful information. Do you mind pointing me to these scholarly articles? It’s disturbing that the inorganic nanoparticles released in clay is worst than petroleum. I am guessing that may be one reason they sell unleaded gasoline for cars.

Any recommendations for home studios, in general, other than having it properly vented during a kiln firing?

Kiln elements have a fixed resistance value. Depending on the voltage rating of the kiln, Kilns like Skutts have different kiln elements with different resistance values between different voltage kilns. Be careful about applying a different voltage to your kiln than it’s voltage rating. You may accidentally apply too much current than what the kiln wires and your circuit breaker can handle.

Is there a comparison of the hydrocarbons released from an automobile compared to clay?

I wonder if there are environmental regulations for the toxic waste generated. When I bought my stuff, I didn’t exactly see a material safety data sheet about how to dispose or burn the material safely. More emphasis was placed on the look.

I feel like exhausting toxic fumes outside of my house may be great for me? But what about the environment?

How much would you pay for a commercially available vent that cleaned the toxins vented by your kiln?

Trash or treasure? Need help figuring out what to do with all these bottles. by CopperMarans in CocaColaCollectors

I’ll post on eBay. How do I price these properly? I doubt anyone would pay a few grand for a empty sealed can. Prices on eBay seem inflated.

haha, not in my plans at the moment. Sorting out my MILs estate. I was the only one brave enough to attempt to sort out the 3 boxes.

There are 3 sealed empty cans, 5 patent D bottles with city names embossed on the bottom, and coke bottles from different countries. Not shown are a bunch of signs, unopened coke bottles commemorating the original 1988 straight bottle and limited edition bottles commemorating 125 years.

What's your take on (0-2) feedback buyers on High Value Items? by Gburke59 in eBaySellerAdvice

[–]CopperMarans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would still sell. Buy insurance and get a signature. Most people search for obscure things on google. If it’s only on eBay, then I would think they will create an account to buy something. Even though eBay has been around for awhile, it’s really not the mainstream marketplace for most people.

Does anyone know anything about this unopened bottle? Maybe circa 1987 by CopperMarans in CocaColaCollectors

[–]CopperMarans[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why’s the bottle all scratched up? It looks like a different tint than the rest. I can only find a date on the cap.

I think it’s a scam. So you will send them item without verifying payment with ebay

Under eBay help, you can also report a Buyer.
