Re: using cookie cutters

I have had the same experience. Parts of the back of the copper where the glue was used to hold it in place were bright, metalic copper color while the front of the copper was the deep red or maroon color. From this experience I developed the theory that when there is organic material (glue) in cont...

The most likely cause for cracking in a second firing is poor anealing in the first firing or too rapid heating in the second firing. Please post your firing schedule for both the tack fuse firing and the slump firing. Be sure to include anealing information for both firings. Best wishes, Tom in Texas

If you have a blank fused you can measure the length across the middle of the blank then take a flexible measuring tape and place the center point ...
