At what temp should I fuse various wine bottles to flatten them to make a cheese tray, and how long do they need to anneal? Need info asap.
Thanks

I think there is a section on this in the FAQ.

Having a wine and cheese party? Have fun regardless.

]I am not so swift with bottles either

How do you keep them from rolling? I now have a glass dust pan because one rolled over the side a bit and have a big sculpture of 3 fused bottles. I guess you should do all the same bottles at once. Tried 2 kinds of vodka and blue glass.
