Using Bevel Clusters Comment

I want to purchase 9 premade bevels to fit the opening in my front door. However, I won't be able to remove the existing glass and will have to attach it someway to the existing glass. The stiles between the windows are probably too small to use a wood frame to hold it in. Does anyone have any suggestions or instructions for a do it yourself job like this? And forgive a really stupid question - would these clear bevels go in the inside or the outside of the door? Thanks for any direction anyone can provide. :-)

It is possible that the final temperature you fused to was too hot or the hold or soak time may have been too long. Since the kiln wash is sticking to the glass it is possible that the ramp speed is too fast. There are a number of things which will effect the glass in different ways. You can use kiln shelf paper to line the kiln shelf. This will not stick like the wash can at times. Keep a record of your firing schedule and remember, each kiln heats a little differently. Observing what your glass is doing at different temps will help you to know your kiln so you can achieve the results you are after.

Are you using Primo Primer for the mold preparation? Because of the ridges and the depth of the mold sometimes the glass can get caught and stick to the mold which will cause cracking.

If you are cutting an inch or more off you could score it with a glass cutter and use running pliers. If it is less than an inch you will or may need to use a saw.

I am trying to slump into a soap dish. I have tried it 4 times and my piece is cracked every time it is done. The crack is a straight edge....which makes me believe that it cracks AFTER it initially slumps. I do not know how/where to adjust my firing schedule to help it. Any ideas? Thanks, Ta

Glass Fusing Comment

Regarding the hole in the middle of a fusing slab. I have learned that this is more common with 96 coe glass, used on top of kiln wash. It will happen to any glass but 96 is usually the cuprit. It is an air bubble that grew until it burst, this is usually caused by the glass sticking just a bit to the shelf, if I understood correctly. The problem is easily solved by using shelf paper instead of kiln wash.
