Fixing inclusins

[Talaat]

I had a problem of inclusions movement during fusing even if they are glued with glastac or Arabic gum

Glue is only good for moving work to the kiln....once in the kiln if your lay up is such.....when the glue burns off (at around 500 degrees) your elements will slide or move. You cannot count on glue to hold something that would naturally move with out it.
Hope that makes sense......need coffee......
I love using hairspray here especially when moving glass with little parts from one room of my studio to another and with kids glass.

So, there are ways to try to stabilize an inclusion. You can surround it with frit. You can but it up against a sheet of glass. A lot of movement has to do with the volume of your glass - if you have a single sheet, with (for example) some copper on top, and another sheet of glass on the top, it will be relatively stable (not much movement). If the glass is thicker or thinner, more movement. make sense?
