Polishing/Finishing slumped vases

[burgessj]

I am looking for suggestions on how to provide a professional finish to the top edges of a vase top. Using the floral former the glass drapes down the side but never quite rounds the glass edges.

I am using spectrum art glass. Would a all-in-one grinding & polishing station work?

I was wondering if I could use my torch and round the edges and place it back into the kiln to anneal it?

Thanks in advance.

It sounds like you're just slumping a single thickness of glass.

Cut and slump, right?

You could fuse 2 pieces together, that would give you a round edge with no cold working.
