Does anyone have any sugesstions for creating a very narrow 6 inch long drape. Can i use a very small ss measuring cup on top of kiln furniture? I may have posted this question twice. Sorry
Thanks Deena

Yes you can Deena. Make sure to kiln wash the SS well, and insure that the furniture it is resting on does not create an undercut, or else the glass may embrace the form, and not want to let go. Good luck.

Thanks for your help. This board has made my learing curve much easier.
Would a longer soak time make the folds more pronounced?
I am looking for very tight folds.
Thanks

YOu can also drape over a plumbing pipe that you can get at Home Despot. I put kiln wash on it and then also put thin fire under the piece.

Stuart:
What type of plumbing pipe are you speaking of - copper tubing?
