Thanks, Bert. (Thought I'd replied to this but apparently not). I've sent some questions to Sean Weirs who has already sent me some info. I'm awaiting his response to my questions. Jen

Pete, the samples arrived, very quickly, and as soon as I finish fiddling with artwork I'll unpack them. It was suggested to me that they won't stand the high temperature of soldering but would probably handle flux OK so could I fire the product after assembly. This isn't possible, of course. For a project that isn't copper-foiled and/or leaded and puttied, such as a fused panel, or an already-slumped bowl, it would no doubt be fine. I think that's how others have used it successfully. Also an assembled panel won't fit in the kiln.

The short answer is, I haven't tried them yet but as soon as I do I'll report. Jen
