low and slow-, August 18, 2012 4 stars
Pros
Easy to work with.		 Cons
Used with the Dichoric pre-cut ovals. Fusing left rough areas ranging from a small edge, to a 1/4". I have been told that this is due to the Dichor heating at different speeds due to the different colors on each piece. They recommend bringing up glass slowly and longer to avoid this issue.		 Other Thoughts
Would have been nice to have known this prior to firing 24 pieces at a studio.
Far Out Ovals on Thin Black - 96 COE

Far Out Ovals on Thin Black - 96 COE

Be Very Careful, August 18, 2012 2 stars
Pros
Color's are beautiful.		 Cons
Different colors on the pre-cuts, heat up at different times. Using the pre-cut clears on top, none of them fused properly. I am being told it is due to the colors and composition of each piece. Solution- bring kiln up very slowly to allow all the glass to heat and fuse. I have 24 pieces that can't be used as is.		 Other Thoughts
As the colors vary on each piece in this pack, it would have been nice to have known this prior to firing the glass.
