I’ve been looking for answers for several days and internet searches just bring me to supply sites, so I searched for blogs. Hi!
I have some pretty dichroic glass that I’d like to make into pendants. I’m just doing this as a hobby, so I don’t have a lot of money to spend. I have a Fuseworks microwave kiln and it works very well most of the time. However, a couple of times my glass (ripple, pink/purple/blue) fuses with ugly gray lines in it instead of the color. I try to make sure I have 6mm thickness starting out so it won’t stretch out too far, but that doesn’t fix it. I managed to do a little piece, maybe half inch square, but when I tried to make a larger one for my friend, it got ugly. Really ugly.
Has anyone seen this? I have no clue if I can upload a picture of the ugliness, but I can try. Thanks!
