REFiRING MELT ON HIGH TEMPRATURE

Post by Havi »

Hello every body,

So I made another melt.....
I want to do strip fusing around it and have a complete piece.
The piece's size is 27c'm by 23 c'm, 6 milimeter thick.
I would like to go again as high as 1700 degrees, as I like the way the glass becomes at this high temp. My hesitation is whether it will not have bad effect on the melt - by taking it again to such high temp.

Anybody with experience in this? Should I take the risk, or not?

as usual, many thanks in advance,



Havi

I have taken pieces up that high for multiple firings. As long as they didn't color shift the first time I have not had a problem. However the piece will flow along with the new glass you are adding so it will change. I am confused on what you are trying to do as an end result.
