Help!
I'm new to this website and new to glass fusing (have been doing stained glass for a number of years). My husband bought me a kiln for my birthday and I've been getting started with it. For a test fire, I fused some one inch squares to get an idea of if and where there might be any hot spots in my kiln. All went well.
For my second "project" I decided to fuse a couple of squares together (one clear and one clear with stringers embedded in it), then slump them in a small mold I have. Well, everything fused just fine, but when I took the glass out of the kiln I noticed some marks on the bottom of the glass. It almost looks as if some of the kiln wash came off on the piece. I didn't re-wash the shelf between my initial and second firings. Does anyone know what this gunk could be and how I might get it off?
Thanks
Lizzie

Sounds like you diagnosed the problem well. It IS kilnwash and it came off onto your glass.
Take some time and go through the tutorials that Brad has posted or go directly to the troubleshooting section within the tutorials.
