Slumping question
Posted: Sun Oct 01, 2017 1:31 pm
Hi- I have a concern about slumping a 30" long oval piece of glass into a VERY shallow, but tall (on the 2 ends) mold. The glass is 13" wide in the middle and tappers down to 5" at either end. So, it is essentially supported at the 2 ends which are only 5" each. My concern is that the glass could start to droop on the side downward before the middle, or become somewhat wrapped, ruining the art. Does anyone have experience with this type of slump? I have a long narrow piece of float glass that I can try this with, although it is not the same shape. This pic is alittle deceiving.. it is really long. Thanks for any guidance... Bonnie
