Square mold resize.jpg Thanks Wendy. This mold is 3-1/2" deep and 12" square. Will probably try a 6mm thick test piece when I go to use the mold. I ended up doing something else with the 9mm thick piece. Cut the square 10" x 9" piece into a 8-1/2" circle on the wet saw and ...

Thanks for the tips Brad. Going to forgo the square slump on this piece but will try it on another. Will take your suggestions into consideration when doing so.

Cut the square into a circle and now that raised some other questions that I'll put in another post. Appreciate the help.

While most of our molds are B.E., we ended up buying some molds on eBay from someone who is getting out of fusing. This mold was kiln washed but never used. It is not a BE nor does it appear to be a slumpys as far as I can tell from research. The mold measures 12" at the top and the sides are 4...

Thanks for the advice. Will look into the Turbo Cad program. Probably ask around some of the people I work around in construction and see if they have used it or even have it so I could try it. While the felt markers and plastic sheets sound like a good idea, not sure the precision would be there fo...

Wanted to know if anyone is familiar with a program that would work decently for strip glass pattern/design layout. Have been doing them by hand and they can get quite complex. They're not that difficult to draw but they take quite a bit of time and the main thing is getting dimensions accurate as w...

Edpal247, appreciate the link to the post. It had me laughing and is about spot on to my situation. Was reading another of your posts after reading this one and noticed you mentioning that you're "now the R&D department". Damn near spit beer on the computer on that one as it hits home ...

Did a little more investigation on the glass. As long as my wife doesn't read this, I'm good. Otherwise :evil: Since this was one of her projects and not mine, she said there was not a number on the glass. Come to find out the 96 did have a number (OA/3005-95F Opal Art) Have been telling her to keep...

Since we are still in the infancy stages of learning I have no issues with giving it a go and trying to slump it flat. The time may (will) come where I have to try this on something more important and it doesn't hurt to learn all we can before then. Nothing to lose except a little electricity and ma...

Thanks for the replies. I will adjust the schedule to slow it down some. I am always checking the shelf for being level. As for the glass, BE is what we solely use. Just wanted to experiment with the few pieces of 96 we had. Never understood why the 96 glass is smooth and almost like window glass on...

Spectrum glass resized.jpg Had an issue with slumping a bowl made from Spectrum 96 glass. We always use B.E but had some of this still around and wanted to try slumping a larger bowl. Have been fusing for just over one year. Slumping Program used is as follows fired in EvenHeat Studio 24 Kiln 400F ...

Thanks for the help Sharol. Yeah, the inclusions appear to be small bubbles but don't seem deep. I'll try your advice on adding clear fine frit to these areas. Will use the B.E chart for annealing process. Their video indicates firing to 1490F for 20 minutes but I need to do a little more research o...

Hi, New to forum and new to glass fusing (4 months) Did a flow slab last weekend and have a few questions on what the results point to. We are using a Evenheat Studio 24 kiln. Sides and top lid elements. The glass we used for the flow slab is Bullseye as follows Citronelle Opalescent 000221-0030-F C...
