re-firing floral former
Posted: Wed Aug 20, 2014 1:46 pm
I have been experimenting with different floral formers, and the last ramp I tried, to 1355, was 5 degrees cooler than the one I usually use. My sheets of glass are 12" square. The vases were not quite as folded as I'd like. If I re-slump, would the first firing affect the temp of the second firing - i.e. should I just go to the same temp again, thinking its already somewhat formed, or should I go to the temp that I've enjoyed good results at - 1360?
In the past I've tried to re-slump bigger sheets that were formed, at a hotter temp, and they ended up with a crack.
