using stringers

Submitted by euneenwendt on Tue, 01/24/2012 - 15:14.

When using stringers in a design, what causes straight stringers  to come out wigglely when fired? It is the temperature? If so, what  is the best temperature to use  so that glass pieces are fused and stringers stay straight?

You can keep the stringers

You can keep the stringers perfectly straight by glueing them to the base glass and then flipping the whole thing over and firing upside-down.  The weight of the top (base) glass keeps everthing in place.
