    Hi, i am starting up with fusing again after a long break....going to use my oxide between 3" circles (ornaments), do I still do a bubble squeeze even tho I want the bubbles? Will a bubble hold defeat the purpose of the oxide bubbles? Thank you, Great videos!

    Question: Once the copper oxide is mixed with a liquid (e.g., glasstac) can it be stored for future use, pre-mixed, or will it dry out or become ineffective? If you mentioned this in the video and I missed it I apologize. I'm multi--tasking. Thanks!

    Steph, Thx for this video. Have you ever tried the oxide powder in-between a layer of tekta and an opal or transparent color ? Also wonder if you laid the two layers in a diamond pattern vs two layer square if they would shrink more.

    • @StephFuses
      @StephFuses 4 месяца назад

    @jillmcneely695 4 месяца назад

    What temp did you fuse to? Full fuse?

    • @StephFuses
      @StephFuses 4 месяца назад

      I go to 1485 or thereabouts. My kiln is such a mess, it's 50 degrees too hot, takes forever to get to full fuse temp, so I officially go to 1390 on my display, which is 1440, because it'll take 4 hours to go between 1225 and 1390, even at 400-600 per hour. In my small kiln though, it's 1485, which is more of a proper fuse.

  • @kathiekarancz964
    @kathiekarancz964 4 месяца назад

    Wow…. Your math is awesome! Have you ever used copper sulfate? I would like the hearts to be fatter. Would I just add more clear glass on top of it? I also I would like to run a wire through it so I can make little suncatchers with the hearts. BIG THANKS to you for sharing. 👍👍🐢

    • @StephFuses
      @StephFuses 4 месяца назад

      I've never used copper sulfate, but I can look into it. As to fatter hearts, pile on the clear! I make nnice fat hearts all the time. You can run a wire through, I recommend looking for nichrome wire, or high temp wire on Amazon and picking it up in a roll, not in the little hooks. It'll take some trial and error to get it right, but I'm sure you'll get it!

When you receive the email with date and time to place your order, you may only be able to get the items in your cart before they are sold out.
