precevParticipantI have been using system 96 and the glass comes out looking kind of like there are little bumps on the surface. Does anyone else have this problem, and what can I do? Thanks, pam

You would think that the super smooth machine rolled surface on System 96 glass would eliminate bubbles but I think it actually can make it more difficult for the inevitable air between layers to escape. When I use Bullseye Tekta – which is machine rolled and has one textured side and one smooth side I make a point to never fuse smooth-to-smooth for this reason.
Did you have a bubble squeeze in your schedule?
