I downloaded this project from a very popular glass website: Use a 3mm 12" clear system 96 circle, then place a 3mm 9" transparent colored circle in the center. Full fuse using following schedule: 250 250 30 250 1050 60 200 1250 30 250 1370 20 300 1465 10 Full 950 60 200 800 10 300 100 0 I...

Thanks for your response, Joyce. Glad to know I probably couldn't get it flat again. That will save me a lot of frustration. Floral former is a great suggestion!

Slumped a bowl and it came out with one side higher than the other. Can I make it flat again and try to re-slump? If so, what schedule would I use to flatten it? 96 glass, blank was 10" diameter. Thanks for helping...clock ticking away so fast

Thanks to everyone for your advice! I'm going to try all the suggestions

Hmmm, I guess I'm not sure what kind of molds I have. I have bought all of them from slumpys or delphi. I just assumed they were all designed for glass slumping, but maybe I'm wrong???

Most of my slumped pieces rock slightly. It's happening with bowl and plate molds. Is there something I can do to prevent this? Maybe I just have poor quality molds? My kiln is level, and I make sure the molds are level when slumping. Unfortunately I don't own a grinder, so I'm not sure how to go ab...

I've only cut circles with a circle cutter. I flip the glass over, press on the glass to run, then flip over and make my relief cuts. I thought the same process would work with a half circle, but I wasn't successful.

I'm trying to cut curves for the first time, specifically for this tray mold. I cropped the photo to show just one end of the mold. How do I go about this? I can't find a good video online, so if anyone can explain curve cutting or give me a video link I would really appreciate it! Thanks!

Thanks everyone!

Thanks!

What's the difference between clear frit and water clear frit?

Or is the company just trying to get me to use more?
I haven't had the guts to try using a mold twice without removing and reapplying it, but every time I take it off it seems to be perfect and ready for another fusing. Any experience with this?

Can anyone give me any recommendations? Thanks!

Thanks for all the replies!

Sorry, forgot to mention I don't have a wholesale account

I'm having trouble finding 4 pound containers online, with the exception of clear frit. I want colors in the 4 pound size. Any suggestions? Thanks!

This was my first attempt at making seams with different colored glass. I think I did pretty well for a first try, but when I hold the piece up to the light I can see a little light through the seams. I fused the three colors on top of a clear base. I think my cuts were good. Any suggestions or good...

Well, I guess I need to know what all the possibilities are. I'm a newbie! The only thing I've ever done with a grinder is edge grinding in my fusing class. What else do you do with it??? I have researched online, and am asking the pros because it's very confusing.

I'm looking for a good grinder in the lower to mid-price range. I'm brand new to glass fusing, so I don't want to invest $1500, but I don't want to buy a cheap one that may only last a short time. Also, I don't have a water source in my studio. I've looked at some grinders where you pour the water i...
