Hello ! Has been asked to make a plate for a wedding. The measurement: about 28 x 28 cm. I have already fired the background of 2 layers and now I must apply the wedding couple ......containing 2 layers.... so total 4 layers. Normally I fire the 3rd and 4th layer with a "contour" fuse, but now my cousin wants the image Full fused.
I have not done this before.... so please can you help me ? If I use the normal full fuse schedule.... the image would spread out ! So, waht is the solution ? greetings from Holland, Jan

You will not be able to retain image definition or control with full fuse, It will appear more "cartoon" like. I don't think your client understands the process! I would advise against this attempt. #-o

Depends in large part how much of base is to be covers by the nex two layers. It would be possible in some circumstances to dam the piece to stop the flow. Cutting clear to fill the space between the image and the rest of the piece would restrict the flow of the image. Go slow
