dichroic glass
I understand the principal of making dichroic glass in single colors.

stacking molds
I am new at fusing and slumping. Is there any reason why you can't stack molds for maximum efficiency? I would think there wouldn't be that much of a temperature differential in such a small space a make much of difference. I would interested in hearing opinions on this.
