I like to fuse with irid

[SillyDog]

I like to fuse with irid side down.  Having the irid side on the kiln does give a bit of a matte finish to the irid, but it is super pretty that way and brings up all the colors.  I also will use a cap of clear irid with the irid side down on top of other colors.  This gives the whole piece a glow.
