Re: Matte slumped pieces

Just the ring area where the glass bent. I'm quite confused... There are 2 different causes for fogginess. One is tin bl...

While my fused pieces come out as I expected them, I have some problem with slumping. I always (3 times so far :-)) get a matte surface where the glass deformed. In the center of the...
