Screen melt bubbles

Post by michelletallin »

Hi, I've been fusing for a few years but I am new to pot/screen melting and with my second attempt I've ended up with holes, presumably from bubbles forming.
What do I need to do to resolve this? I presume I need to tweak the firing schedule?
I'm using the attached schedule
Many thanks,
Michelle

Looks to me like you need more glass.
