Thanks for all the information!! Snowflakes are tricky!!
You’re welcome. 😊
I have those molds too. 9 times out of 10 when I use fill molds I fill with more grams than what is recommended. I think it makes the piece just a little more solid/stable. When I first started watching your videos I thought you used Coe 96 glass but I see in this video you used Bullseye glass. I used to do both as I was limited on the COE I could buy where I live. Once I found so many great places online that carried the bullseye line of glass I quit doing 96. I didn’t want the hassle of keeping it separate. Sold all of it and all of my stained glass to a nice couple who drove here from Indiana. We’re still good friends today. You just never realize how many people out there love glass art.
Yes, I always go over. If I use the recommended fill weight there are always bad spots.
I started with COE 90 because I did stained glass work in the 80’s and all I could get was Bullseye glass. I didn’t realize there were different ones until I was unpacking COE 96 that I purchased in error.
It is amazing and quite wonderful to find such an extensive community of fusers!
Why did you put the powder in between the two glasses?
I’ve found that putting a thin layer of powder between the layers of glass reduces the chance of air bubbles getting trapped between them.
