How does copper oxide work compared to copper carbonate. Is the color of the powder indicative of what the bubbles will come out. Can you make it with different colors of powder to come out with another color or will it just muddy the color.
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.
I tried it on clear and on white. Worked great and I used next to nothing from the baggie. It definitely will last a long time! Is there a way to add photos here?
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.
Dots with bubbles...good idea!
I thought they might have some appeal

Thanks for the bubbles and all we can try. I come from ceramics and went to stain glass and now fusing. Fun.
If you have access to different oxides, you might see if some of them bubble

I have not, but my friend Linda of @ramprateart has, and she's used white as a background. It makes the blue pop and look beautiful!

Are you saying copper oxide will make bubbles on uncapped single layer glass?
where do I get the samples from please
so fun!
What temp did you fuse to? Full fuse?
