Help me, please

Post by Havi »

Hello every body,
I broke a piece on which I have worked a lot. Tough!

I glued it together, and it is now being fused. It seems to me , that there remained a 'scar' a mark that shows that there was a break there, even though it is probably fixed now.
My question is -
Is it possible to do something that will erase the mark of the break? I assume I could paint on it, but I am seeking an alternative solution, sandblast and refire? grind and refire?

Any other idea?

Many thanks in advance,

Havi

Havi, glass has a way of showing, on examination, everything that has happened to it. If you are creative and understand how the glass will behave, you may be able to hide the scar, by covering it with another glass element.
