Re: how to create a flat bottom on the slump with a ball mou

I have the same mold I solved the problem by putting the bowl on a 6" bonsi stand . ( you can find tham on line )it gets the bowll up so light can go through the bowl , protects the glass and the table and gives it some nice feet. and I lreally like the combination of the wood and the glass.

Re: Drilling holes in Molds

I have had the same problem with a shallow mold like this there is no need to go any higher than 1200 degrees I did fix the problem a little by drilling more holes but have still had a problem if I go beyond the 1200 point the glass covers the holes and the bubbles form 1150 degrees works even better.
