Slumping 24" x 24" tack fused COE 96 glass
Posted: Tue Jun 05, 2012 11:06 am
I am new to glass slumping. I am a ceramic artist who has a commission including slumped 24" x 24" sheet glass over undulating textured clay originals (my tiles).
I am about to purchase 1000 bucks worth of Spectrum COE 96 colored and clear glass, tack fuse them together and then slump them over one of my undulating carved ceramic tiles covered with kiln wash. (400 of that is shipping!!!)
I have had success tacking and slumping a 24" x 12" piece (since Delphi forgot to tell me they were going to CUT my first order in half to ship it, I've had plenty of glass to do tests with). Now I'm ready to try the full 24 x 24 inch sheets.
QUESTION: Will I have problems with such a large sheet of glass, or should it work just as well as the 24 x 12 did??
Thank you all for being there to help a newbee!!!
