System 96 - Common Questions and Answers Comment
by DelphiAnswers on Monday, May 13, 2013
@Stephen23240 Yes, we are familiar with the struggles that the X200 has presented; and have communicated feedback to the manufacturer. We’ve also noticed that it tends to be a magnet for bubbles as well. The best approach we can suggest you take is to make sure you aren’t just going too hot but also not too hot, too quickly. Both too high of heat as well as ramping too quickly to that high temperature can cause devit. Also, just a reminder, once there is devit on the glass there isn’t a guaranteed way of reversing it, so just be sure you’re using a new piece each time you attempt to fire.

Fusing Tips Comment
by DelphiAnswers on Monday, May 13, 2013
@Jameas H. As dichroic glass is fired in the kiln the way that the glass can fire can sometimes allow for that distinct line between where the dichro layer starts to become more pronounced/noticeable; this is indicative of the way the glass will want to stay a ¼” thick while firing so depending on how the number of layers you’re using, etc. – the way the glass shrinks up under itself can denote a line around the circumference of the fused piece. This is ultimately because the dichroic layer is a metal coating and doesn’t move/shift with the glass.

Pros Seems like a nice kit and shipping was quick but pricey. Video was semi informative. |
Cons Shippment was missing the glass pack and the black epoxy. I talked to Delphi and arrange to have the missing items shipped to me. |
Other Thoughts Make sure you have everything you ordered when you recieve your shippment. |

Pros I have purchased many of these tables to use in my classes for the past few years. Strong, sturdy, and good looking. Allows me to mosaic on a flat surface and then attach legs. |
Cons Can't be used outside! |
Other Thoughts Would be really nice if they were weather proof and could be used outside on patios etc. |
