What effect would the kilning have on cowrie shells? Thanks Man, and your ULTRATANG at The Light is just craZy. How you ever got an idea to do something like that is mind stretching. THe craftsmanship is top Notch and half of tiki's with a penis look awkward but that one there is bitchin. :blush: So your question on Shells in a kiln? It comes down to melting point. Glazes are just powders that melt with the high heat. I put watch gears under a translucent glaze before and they turned to blobs of melted metal. Best to glue on after. I have heard on people taking BB gun pellets and placing them to melt all over.
