Fiber paper
Fairly new to fusing...how can I get a clean back side to my glass work? Kiln wash leaves a white film which I can scrub off but then there is a milky finish. Fiber paper leaves a texture and these little sharp spikes, almost like the glass started to bleed. I purchased my fiber paper from Bullseye.
Any advice?
Thank you, Jolene

Yep, too hot. I thought that may be the problem. Just lower your top temp and get some Bullseye wash - that'll solve it.Jolene wrote:Hello Jackie. It is not Bullseye kiln wash, so I will try that. I'm ramping up to 960 afap, soaking for 20, ramp up to 1550 at 300 dpm and soaking for 10. I cool down afap to 1100 soak for 20 then cool afap.
This is the schedule I've been using for a full fuse.
Your help is appreciated!

Re: Fiber paper
I think we're all assuming you are using two 3mm layers of glass (1/4" thickness). If not, the spikes are from shrinkage as the glass reaches these high temps. The less shrinkage, the less the spiking is an issue. It's more of a problem on fiberpaper than on a shelf prepared with Bullseye shelf separator.Jolene wrote:...these little sharp spikes, almost like the glass started to bleed.
