glass chips to prevent bubbles
Posted: Thu Sep 21, 2017 4:21 pm
I made an 8" X 10" glass painting with fine fit on 1 layer of clear and and am tack fusing it. (It's in the kiln now) For the second firing I want to flip it, top with a sheet of white and full fuse. Since the frit will still have texture I plan to put clear glass chips under the corners so the air can escape. The frit design is pretty much in the center and was about 1/8" thick before firing. I don't want the piece larger than 8 X 10, so I am considering damming it. Will the 1/8" fiber paper lining the mulliet dams be porous enough to allow the air to escape? Or would it be better to do this flip and fire without dams?
I can post a picture after the tack fuse if that would help.
Thank you,
