Help
I still don't understand how to put a rim on a pot drop. Have read, but don't comprehend.
Do you cut a large circle and put your pot drop on top and then cut another circle with a hole the size of the drop?
Thanks
Deborah

I have only done this once, but learned quite a bit in the process.
First, I would recommend making a 3mm thick circle the diameter you want for your finished piece.
Then, grind the pot melt into a perfect circle.
Then cut one or two rims (depending on the thickness of the melt) as in Patty Gray's tutorial that Brad indicated. Make the inside rim about 1/8" larger in diameter than the pot melt.
Place the melt in the center of the blank with the rim (or rims) around the melt.
Fire to full fuse.
Hope this helps

Thanks, now I get it. Couldn't find Patty Gray's tutorial and your explanation is very simple.
