Re: grinding and other abrasions effect between 2 fused surfaces
Thanks Cynthia! It doesn't quite address my exact problem, but there was so much info that I was able to formulate a better informed plan. I have a question about the swarf. WHY does it have to be kept wet until scrubbed? (an early lesson learned when I switched from stained glass to fusing, LOL) Ho...
