Mark,
If you use the screws you will also need large flat washers to hold the
fiber. A much easier and cheaper way would be to bisque fire some 3 -
4" clay buttons and wire them to the can with nickel chromium wire.
Most ceramic stores carry the wire. I used some sculpture clay for the
buttons to withstand the thermal shock, I've never had any problems
with this method and I'm sure there are other alternatives. Good luck,
Mike Gordon
