Re: Problem with Slump

Thanks for all the input..I'm thinking that perhaps the white had a problem with multiple firings and became unstable...dont plan to re use this glass..will keep it as a lesson.

Re: Can I double up

In my experience No. You may be able to fuse on the top shelf and slump on the bottom shelf

Re: Pot Melt Questions ???

If you cant find a shop to help you, you might try to bend the metal and move it back and forth until it breaks..you will need to have a vise or something to hold it rigidly across its length. A hacksaw or Tile saw would work as well.

newbie bottle question

After slumping a wine bottle, what material should I use to attach the label to the backside of the bottle? I'm thinking coating it with polyurethane. Thanks
