Re: Help With a Piece Breaking
Thanks for the reply. The 1250 with the hold did tack them together. Maybe not enough? The problem wasn't that they came loose, but that they actually snapped right in half. That's why I thought it was annealing, because it's right where the 2 pieces meet. That leads me to more questions. Would the ...

Re: Bubble or "Tumor" Forming During Slump
Thanks. I've never drilled a hole in a ceramic mold before. Do I need a special bit? Does it have to be wet or anything like glass does?

Good Morning All, I am having an issue that I just cannot seem to correct. I've tried every variation I can think of, and nothing seems to be working. Here's the issue. I am taking a fully fused "blank" (Spectrum black with clear cap, fully fused, no problems) and putting it in your averag...
