Mica powder
Posted: Sun Sep 28, 2003 3:50 pm
I tried a sample of mica powder in with a batch of tack fusing. New kiln so I wasn't sure of the temperture. (I'm also a new fuser. Is that a word? Old broad - new fuser)
Some of the powder wiped off. Does that mean the temp wasn't high enough? 1350 degrees left the edges of the glass too sharp. 1375 made the coarsest frit melt too much. But the edges weren't sharp.
In an earlier post did I read correctly I could mix isopropyl alcohol with mica powder to apply?
I'm really happy to be a part of this list.

Leaving tomorrow for Philadelphia for the National Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier dog show with some of her newly fused wares.
