Hey BrainTeasers! Yes, I'm planning on making a fumed spoon video soon. This one will be 100% fume on clear glass. Stay tuned for it! All the best! Sim
Hello .... Thank you for the video .... I’m so happy .... finally I understand how those beautiful swirls are added in the space marbles . Can you please help me with the annealing temperature ? Thank you 🔥🔥👌
Hi Brigitte, welcome to the Fusing Shop channel! You have to anneal your piece 1 hour for every 1/4 inch. So if you make a one-inch marble, you have to anneal it for 4 hours. I anneal at 1,050 degrees, using the formula to figure out the anneal time. After that, you must bring the temperature down to the strain point which is about 960 degrees and keep the kiln at that temperature for the same time as you annealed. I hope this helps! Feel free to email me any questions at yourock@thefusingshop.com
Dear Sim, thank you very much for your video for the fume cane. I put some silver on a large rod of boro with my silver wire, but I think I should put it on a small boro rod. Do you have a video showing how to put the silver on the rod. Thank you.
Hi Lacaro! It's not hard to get the silver on a rod. I usually use a 5 mm rod and cut a small piece of silver that I put on my graphite pad. Heat the rod up so it's nice and hot and touch it to the silver. The silver may not pick up on the first try so you may have to repeat the process.
Thanks Em....much appreciate your videos!
You got it bro!
More fume work please!!

Good ventilation is important when you blow glass at all, especially colored glass and frit!
Also nice tutorial, I’ll have to try this ouy!
Agreed Mantis! Send pics if you can, yourock@thefusingshop.com
Wow, you are really cranking these out, keep going!
Yep. Hoping to get more up this week.
Another great video, thank you
Thanks Cory!
That was awesome I can’t wait to do that!
Send pics when you do! yourock@fusingshop.com
You put encased silver into reducing flame at the end of the show. How can it react if it’s already encased.?

When I tried the fuming I don’t see the vaporisation of the silver. Do I have to heat more the silver on the rod ?

@@Lacaro971 That's hard to answer without seeing what you are doing. You have to get the flame just right for the fume to work.
@@FusingShop Thank you for your comment, I will try with a 5 mm boro rod. I have a kiln so I can annealed the fume rod after. Best regards.
@@Lacaro971 Sounds good! Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
