Sand Mold question,

Post by jim burchett »

I have made a Box Sand Mold and have Pressed textures into the sand to make relief in the glass. I am wondering if I sift powders into the depressed areas of the mold and then take it to a Tack fuse temp if the powders will provide contrast to those areas?
