Finishing and Framing Comment by JIM L.   Thursday, November 19, 2009

Hi

You could either use hobby lead came for the edge or apply copper foil then tin the foil after being applied.

Fusing Method Comment by Christine L.   Monday, November 16, 2009
I posted this in the System 96 section earlier instead of here in fusing--please excuse:)

I just received my kiln this week and am new to fusing.  I did my first firing of some pendants and they seemed to have some sharp edges that will  need grinding  and lost all dimension.  They are still usable, but not the result I was looking for especially for the pieces with dichroic glass.    I did a full fuse.  Should I have done a tack fuse?  Also had quite a bit of kiln wash stick to the colored glass bases, but not the black or clear.  Is this normal?  I am using the System 96 glass and my Delphi Studio Pro Delux kiln.
