Switch from 1/8" fp to 1/16" fp and it will work well.

We don't prefire to fuse first, just design, cut & stack the fp, place glass atop & fire. As Rosanna said, the firing schedule would be helpful, but without it I'd guess firing too fast; &/or could there have been too much glue under that high point that may have caused excess air?
