fusing intiricate pattern.

Post by Michael Stevens »

I'm. doing a new piece, there are a few gaps but mostly tight. what's the best way, should I place these on a clear round sheet, or cap with clear? I will add some frit to fill the larger gaps. but I'm hoping if cap it the gala will fill more even. . if i fuse it alone will round edges too much and warp.

if could be used for food cap with clear.
ensure you have air escape paths below the piece otherwise you may trap air.
That is one firing.
Two firings says clear underneath, fire it and then flip it over and fire again so the clear is on top.
