Can not find any information on how the height of the pot and resulting stringer diameter mixes the glass during a pot melt.
Application: Crude sheet glass for lamps [getting a BFA in bronze casting and ceramics].
Desired results: a stable glass using recycled glass from different sources.
Untested approach: Ball mill glass to 60 mesh or finer; mix batch with the different frits; pot fire in Skutt 1027 kiln; drill grouping of 1/2″ holes in pot; set pot high to produce very thin stringers to mix glass and clear glass of ‘cloud bubbles’; break disc into pieces and refire using the top pressure plate method to create a thinner glass.
Suggestion?? help??
thanks,
Michelle
