How to Fuse with Texture Molds

Submitted by glassy on Fri, 07/02/2010 - 13:16.

I have a square flat texture mold. In order to do a project with it must I fuse my glass separately and then place the fired piece on top of the texture mold and fuse the glass again or do I just begin my project by laying the un-fired glass on top of the mold in order to do my initial fuse. Can I tack fuse with this type of mold?

This is my plan:

1. Fuse with the texture mold

2. Slump the piece in to a square mold

 

Thanks for your advice!

How to fuse with texture molds

I would lay your glass on the textured mold for initial fuse--full fuse so that the glass really sinks into the texture.

Is the mould really intended for full fusing?  If not you may find it a "one use" mould.

I found with my texture

I found with my texture molds that the texture only really showed up after a full fuse.

Thanks for the advice. My idea was to fire some flower petals, and then use them in a later project, but I am thinking at a full - fuse, they may be mis shapen? what I seem to be reading is that you need the full fuse to get the texture. any ideas?

thanks!
