Hi,

I'm making a fairly simple sconce, but I'm trying to figure out how to fire a copper inclusion to use as a hanger.

I've thought about making a tunnel across the middle of the piece with fiber board when fusing and then filling tunnel with copper wiring. HOw thick of copper can I use?

Perhaps I can just fuse the copper between two pieces, but I'm concerned
about trapping bubbles around teh wiring and weakening the hold. Any ideas?

Thanks

It all depends on how thick the glass is, how heavy and how wide. You just have to test this kind of thing yourself.

HI

Yes I suppose testing is enevitable, but I was hoping to avoid as many problems as possible before trying it. Have you tried firing copper wire between two 6X8 1/8" pieces with success? How does teh heaviness effect the inclusion?

Thanks for your help.
