Tack fusing, but different

Hello, I did a full fuse with 2 layers Spectrum glass. After that full fuse I did a tack fuse with 2 layers on the first glass. Temp. 750 degrees Celsius. But the 2 layers had spread out, it look like a full fuse. Do you have to use a lower temp. by 4 layers ? Jan de Jong

Thank you Jim ! Is there a way to do it with sheet glass (as I still did not work with frits and not have them). Is it possible with a saw ? Jan
