Square slumber A or B?

Post by seachange »

Hi everyone,

I have a project where I will need to buy several molds (6 of the smaller sizes, 3 or 4 of the larger ones).

Bullseye catalogue 8, page 52 shows square slumper A (http://shop.bullseyeglass.com/square-sl ... -mold.html) and B (http://shop.bullseyeglass.com/square-sl ... -mold.html).

From the sizes, I like B, because it has a better range in the smaller sizes. And, from the sketch, it seems to have a flat bottom. Unfortunately the pictures of the actual glass fused into these molds look exactly the same.

Before I invest in all these molds, would much appreciate your advice as to which one has a nicer, better shape. A plate fused into B, does it really have a flat bottom?

I will be using two layers totaling 1/4".

Many thanks, seachange

Many thanks Jim

I had practically decided on B (due to good range in smaller sizes), happy to know they have a square bottom.

Best regards, seachange
