Hello everyone:
I made my first pattern bar today - I've cut a few slices and was wondering if I could use dip n etch to give them a more matte finish and then incorporate into my piece and fire to full fuse?
I've only used the dip n etch on my finished beads and have no idea how it will react to being heated.
Appreciate any advice
Kim

Re: Pattern bars & dip n etch
kim, you can matte finish fused glass with dip 'n etch but when you fuse the pieces again they will become shiny again - and you should be rinsing the dip n etch off after taking them out - make sure you rinse it well and it won't leave any residue behind to create a problem in the kiln...glassaddict wrote:Hello everyone:
