@simplespark Here are my suggestions; since I'm not sure if you're working with COE 90 or 96, I ve given you item numbers for both. We don t sell dark blue in crinkle coating but we do sell some textures in this color and if you fire it without a clear cap you will still get that splinter effect (since the coating is metallic) and will not stretch with the glass as it melts. 153401, X153401, X4227

The videos are very helpful. Thanks

I need help fast! I am a budding glass artist and friend asked me to make earring for her wedding. The time is quick approaching and I haven't been able to get the right kind of dark blue crinkle. Any advice as to what glass to buy would be awesome. Thank you in advance! I am desperate!

@dlstressed, Of course you can re-slump! In a case like this it would be best to fuse again into a flat piece. Then you can use a bandsaw or a grinder to make sure your piece does not exceed the size of the mold. We recommend turning the mold upside down on top of the glass and tracing around it with a black sharpie. This will give you an accurate measurement and any sharpie remaining after grinding or sawing will burn off in the kiln. Any place the glass overhangs, you have the potential for this problem or as you pointed out it can sometimes slide during the slump if it doesn t heat evenly for some reason. Never refuse to re-fuse!

so i slumped my glass on the sushi tray-apparently it was slightly too wide(thought i cut it to right size) or else it slid crookedly when it slumped & now i have an uneven lip on 1 side-can i re-slump or what do you recommend?

i lay my glass on my light table which has five 40 watt bulbs in it and this warm's up the glass as i choose my colors.i built this great light box table which is on wheels so it can be rolled out of the way when not in use and incorporated a computer fan on one end to diperse the heat from the bulbs.all the materials cost less than 125.00 to build and this is a large useful table.if anyone would like plan's and info just ask

@dlstressed Yes, at a certain point it will be dark as the binder burns out, but once the firing is complete the residue in your kiln will again appear white. The only time you would notice this is if you open the lid while fusing to peek at your glass or if you have a kiln with a viewing window.

I saw a product somewhere that was some sort of a clip that attached to the glass so you didn't have to drill a hole to make a wind chime. Does anyone know of this method and where to get them? alcheral

does the thinfire paper turn really dark when fusing?

@jdavidson Based on the width of your panel reinforcement isn t really necessary but it doesn t hurt to be safe. As far as the exterior H came; finding a break in your design where you can align the solder lines will probably create the best aesthetic. We would love to see pictures when you are done!
