Im still tweaking my kiln temps. I was aiming for a contor fuse but wound up with a hard edge tack.
If I run that same piece again, do I need to up the temp to get it to flow more? Or is running it up to the same temp for a second time going to get the glass to flow more?
Is it just temp, or hold, or both that create movement in the glass?
Hello everyone! I'm fairly new to glass fusing, and I'm really trying to get single layer fusing to work, but I keep getting separation. I've attached the schedule I used to fire and a pic of the results. The only thing I MIGHT have messed up was not changing step 5 from 960 to 950 since I'm using system 96 glass. Would a 10 degree difference do this? I haven't tried changing the temp and refiring because I'm getting frustrated and feeling like I'm just wasting glass.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Here's the firing schedule:
Here are my results. The gaps in the before picture aren't accurate. I made sure things were generally tight/touching.

This is closer to what I was expecting, but still not great:
Hubby and I are gardening enjoyers but i recently got a job in a state where it’s prohibited. He’s very sad about tossing his bong, it’s huge, the stem alone is maybe a foot and a half. Anybody know how I could turn just the stem into a small thin vase? I don’t want to keep the whole thing, just the top cylinder. Anyone know how I could separate the stem and add a flat plate at the bottom?
Hi! I recently purchased a Skutt Firebox 14 and placed It in my basement, though I haven't used it yet. The manual states it could put out some smoke the first time you turn it on, which is normal and fine though I didn't read anything on any required ventilation for normal use? I'm new to fusing but excited to start experimenting.
