Texture Tile Question
Posted: Sat Nov 26, 2016 2:31 am
I trying to use Slumpy's SM-9744 Organic Originals - Lavish Sunflowers.

I am confused on using texture tiles.
I have a already built a fully fused base that I would like to then texture with this mold.
Their web description says Fuse sheet glass atop for one of a kind designs. For best results, fire to a contour fuse.
Since I’ve already created my base, should I fire the blank to a contour fuse to pick up the detail of this mold? (Not just this mold but for any textured tile?)
Everywhere I look online, sites selling textured molds firing schedules assume you fuse and texture in the same step.
To control bubbles I'm trying to do in two steps.
What firing schedule would you suggest to pick up the texture (S96) or should I use my regular Contour schedule?
I also made the mistake of laying the tile directly on the kiln shelf. Bet I need to put on small posts?
Also this mold, like most tiles I've seen, does not have air holes in it. Should I drill a couple of small holes to be safe?
Thank you in advance for taking a look at all my questions.
