How do you frame a triangle shaped panel in zinc?

Can the small casting molds be used in a microwave kiln?

@ani2 What was the hottest temp? I just bought some of this and I do not want it to stick..

Can the small casting molds be used a microwave kiln? I'm having so much fun-I want to try evverything I can!

I am trying to find out whether I need both a for example a tourus 3 ring saw and a ex. the cutters mate. I am trying to reduce cost. are both necessary? or will one or the other do,and which one would be the sufficient one to do the job. Stained glass and fusing project.

@DelphiAnswers Thanks so much!

@Tina/Larry It is recommended that you cement first, but bear in mind that you will need to wash with flux remover again after tacking/soldering the reinforcing strip in place in order to prevent any acid flux from sitting on or near the lead/solder joints.

@Mark K. Our best tip is an unused bicycle chain. You can hold in place with horseshoe nails (item #5480) , it is heat and chemical resistant and can easily form around curves and circles.

@kellbwm Yes, you can fuse anything to itself. You take a risk when fusing untested glass because it s just not formally rated for exposure to such high heats watch out for devitrification and be aware that glass containing more than two colors can be especially temperamental. Proceed with caution.

@jennalee Frequently, what you have described here is an indicator that you are in fact firing too hot. Also, you mention a post . . . are you working with a casting mold with a post? If so, you must be meticulous about detailing that primo primer into every nook and cranny of the mold and around the post. If you plan on doing more work with molds like this I may suggest you go with a boron nitride spray.
