what do you want to look for when purchasing a flat lap? What are the brand names....The belt sander was much easier...
Thanks, Sarah

How do you like the CRLawrence sander? That is the one I'm thinking about purchasing-I like that it has the wheels/roller on it, I have not noticed that on other models.

I am on the hunt to for a belt sander!

I plan to prop the paper up with kiln bricks but fear that the glass still may push out or that i will end up with flat spots where th...

frit

Thanks for the excellent advice everyone, something that seems so simple to do, has me stumped! Doing sample test tiles is a really good idea...and taking the time to do them will pay off I'm sure, and the knowledge will come in handy for future (and bigger and better projects) reference. Also, all ...

Thanks for the replies, they help. (ok..I should of known better than to suggest 900 :wink: ) I'm a bit concerned that the frit will flow to much when I fuse and then slump.... I haven't worked much with frit.

And Jim...your advise is golden, it's my motto for the weekend :lol:

I am fusing small pieces of glass with frit, and I just want to tack on the frit-so it still has it's texture. I also want to keep the slump shape of the glass which is bent, so I am thinking do the normal fuse and slump and then do a short third firing this time with the frit added...how high do yo...
