Just finished first raking experience.....gr8 results...except lost about 1/3 of the total piece because it shifted down off the shelf when I went into rake the second time...(Got beautiful blobs because of this)..I think there was too much resistance....but I salvaged 2/3 and happy EXCEPT for a small hairline crack in the bottom middle...I want to refuse this onto a black circular blank. Will this crack fuse together? What is the best thing to do? Should I sand it before I fuse? Thanks

Set it up on your blank, and heat it up slowly. Check (he he) at 1000F.
