I was emailed a question and after i responded i realized others might benefit from the ? and answer ... so i am posting it here. (the question:) Yesterday I decided to try some of your saucer melts with some scrap instead of toss it. I had some success with pot saucers 4 inches across at the top an...

(judy) i have used the clay saucers more than once for normal fusing but i dont think i have used them in high fires more than once (but will) ... i have not had any crack but they do tend to 'flake' a little & stick to bottom side of glass ... but i grind that off for now. how long to anneal .....

i have a 5" x 5" glass brick (1" thick) that i made using the stacked layers method .... Can i go back and tack fuse things (like cabs, rods, stringers, etc) on the top surface (i want a rougher texture) ??? i am thinking yes ... as long as i keep it confined (so it wont seep) and tak...

i like it !!!

I did another high fire experiment but this one partially failed ... i forgot my shelf dams so the glass flowed ... off the shelf ... and the circuit breaker tripped so the kiln cooled too fast ... CRACK!

but i will salvage most of it into other pieces.
