Fusing wire

What are you making? Silver is great for jewelry since it comes out as nice as it went in. Sterling silver, brass and copper develop firescale or firestain which requires cleaning/scrubbing/polishing/tumbling to remove. Stainless steel also develops a black coating.

Again, the wire you use will depend on the application and how much work you want to put into it after the kiln does its work.

I plan to create a fused glass piece that has copper wire as its inclusion. I have used copper in my previous work but I always cover it with a clear cap. Do I have to cap it? If not, will the copper stay slightly above the surface? I am afraid to experiment! I need advice from someone who has done this. I want the copper to act like a subtle barrier defining the various shapes and colors of each glass (ie.: a white house having a light blue sky and green grass). Any suggestions?   Thanks!

We use fine silver if we want to create a hanging point in our pieces.  We have done it in dichroic and regular glass fusings.  Have made bracelet links as well.  It is always pretty because it does not get firescale, just needs to be hammered prior to putting it into your piece to harden the soft metal.

One may get useful information from this , "Fusing is a type of manufacturing process for joining or terminating electrical magnet wire, that is coated with a varnish (film) type insulation, to itself or some type of electrical terminal, without prior removal of the insulation. During the fusing process, the varnish film insulation is vaporized automatically. The entire process takes between a quarter of a second to 50 seconds, depending upon the geometry of the wires being joined."Actually i came here while surfing net to get data related to projects of JN0-303 and find this post different one...Is there anyone having information about JN0-532?if yes than do tell me!Any updates?The way how u tried to explain some posts at here seems to me different...there are certainly different posts at here,but i didnt find any post related to projects like HP0-S18...if someone have information about it,do tell me!Well any updates related to this post?if yes than do tell me!
