I was so excited to try this! Started with a base of 3mm tekta, added a layer of glass and fired to full fuse, added another layers of glass to full fire, looked amazing, then added some accent frit and glass and fired to contour fuse. So excited to open the kiln this morning and to my dismay, my piece was cracked in half. Being a self taught glass artist, I can't seem to figure out a firing schedule for multiple layers. It would be greatly appreciated if you could provide a multi-firing schedule?
I am gluing the clear glass strips around the end of the base glass to make a "glass tray". I put all the sheet glass, frit and powder in the tray, dam and fire. The sides of the tray hols it all together so it doesn't spill out.

Slooooooow
Do you have the Bullseye doc about firing/ annealing thick pieces?
Stunning piece of wrk. Can you tell me what you were using glue gun for? Thanks

Why not go a bit faster so it's a complete BLUR
Go to settings and choose a slower playback speed
