Such an easy process, anyone with access to a kiln should have personalized dinnerware! TikiAno & Lori - I re-read the literature and those decals will fire anywhere from Cone 018 to 1 but 1 don't see any high fire Cone 5-10. It says you can fire your piece to Cone 10, apply the decal and refire to Cone 1. Basically, if the image can be wiped off after firing it needs to be fired hotter. If the image fades with firing it needs to be fired cooler. Next on the table mosaic. I figured out spacing on the glass tiles (Home Depot) so I can use whole tiles without a row of cut tiles along the sides. 17 or 18 tiles would fit, but 18 didn't leave much room for grout. I measured and marked lines, adjusted the spacing, and glued 4 lines of tiles directly to the table top tempered glass with E600 adhesive. Next step will be to glue in all the whole tiles, lining them up straight in the grid. That part will go pretty quickly, then the more time consuming task of nipping all the incomplete tiles
