Pattern Bar/Devit question
Posted: Mon Jun 18, 2012 4:10 pm
I made a sushi platter from pattern bars. Some of the cuts were thicker than others. Prior to firing the piece it had an uneven surface, it didn't fuse totally flat and has some devit.
Would it have been better to increase the temp or increase the hold.(For the flatter surface) ( BE glass 1807-1808-0133)
The schedule I used was:
300 > 1225 H45
600 > 1490 H20
AFAP 900 H 1:30
100 <700 H 01
Off
Should I sandblast and refire for a flat surface, or just hit it with hand pads and refire, or not do any of that, and just refire to flatten it.
I know this has been asked and answered but I'm using the "historical posts not all there" as my disclaimer.
Also, I can still see the seams in the clear glass that I used.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
