Hello

I'm not sure about How to fire the next work, so i would love to have your help in understanding the process.

I want to creat a leaf from frit ( Bullseye , size 0), that I will get the detail in both side.
I made to part mold from plaster and silca.
I packed frit on the mold about 9 mm . And cover it whit the mold.and put weight on it.

I made two kind of mold, one is almost flat and the other one is about 4 cm deep.
Now I'm not sue about how high temp it need to get the detail from both side.
Do I need to refer it like pate de verre ( about 710c) or casting ( 830 c)?
Have a good day
Osnat

Thin pieces will anneal all on their own with a simple shutoff. Frits have no limit to how quickly you can heat them up. So the only thing you need to worry about is heating your mold, and the top temperature required to get the look you want.
