I just had this happen again & my previous suggestions didn't work. I soaked the mold in hot water and a lot of white vinegar for several hours and it popped right out. It's worth a try.....
I agree with the other ladies. I know it is frustrating the more you try the worse it gets, but your reputation is also important. I say take a deep breath and finish the project. It won't always be like that. Hang in there:)
If you join the artglasspics yahoo group, there is a tutorial on how to use the photo decal paper. It is possible to add color to the decals and to 'cap' them with out bubbles using clear powder. I wrote the tutorial after a lot of experimenting.

I'm new to this site and trying to figure out how to see the pictures! Any hints on the best route to the photos?

I can so relate to this! I am actually typing this from a business trip (the non-glass business).
I took on 6 shows this summer just to force myself to get into my workshop more. The fact that I have these commitments coming up does help somewhat. There is an inertia barrier that I have to break. Sometimes it feels like a fear that my creativity wont jump start. Then I consider my upcoming shows, look through a few glass blogs and magazines and force myself to get started. My workshop is in my basement, so I have few excuses, and once I get down there for a night or two the momentum gets me going again.
I actually used your video to experiment with glass boiling... i;ve done 2 projects so far and I love the technique. There isn't alot of stuff on the internet about this type of firing... kinda have to be brave enough to just try a variety of things.
I have a programmable kiln and have been looking for a firing schedule. I made one myself and am adjusting it as I complete each project - but I am curious about how others fire this type of project.
In general the capping glass needs to be the amount larger on each edge that the bottom glass is thick. So a 1.5mm base would need a covering piece 3mm larger than the base (1.5 times 2)

Hello, I am new here, Georgia, USA and fairly new to fusing. I have been trying to do some jewelry type fusing, Dichro pendants to be exact. I have been using dichro on black and covering with clear. Results haven't been too bad, however I am wondering , Is there a rule of thumb for how much larger the clear cover needs to be? Seems like I get it too small and you can see a ring of the dichro , which really doesn't look that bad, but I would like to have the clear wrap around the sides. Pam

Hi all, I just joined your group and am looking forward to all the in & output... I'm from Holland (close to Amsterdam) and working with glass (fusing, casting and stained glass) for nearly 4 years. If you're interested in my output, just check the snapshots in my album.

I have the same problem with our 4 month old puppy (only - he doesn't call me "Papa")!

Not much luck getting time in the studio with a 3 yr old grandson running about. "Come play Papa!" Oh well, maybe on the weekend!

Hope everyone is having better luck getting to spend time in their studios than I am.
