Oh, man! Please don't laugh at me (at least, not everyone at once!). I was commissioned to make some copperfoiled panels for an internal door. The client has subsequently become a friend. I had 2 pieces of glass (Spectrum 319-6S) left over and promised her I would make her two nice platters as soon as my kilns arrived from the USA. The kilns have arrived. I have fused and slumped some glass (not the System 96, but ordinary art glass, taking careful note of fusing "like on like" as everyone on the bulletin board has already mentioned) and they are a great success. I now want to make these platters for my friend. Trouble is, the two pieces I have, are what she brought me. I subsequently had to buy more glass because her pieces were hopelessly inadequate for the pattern she wanted. I am now stuck with my promise to make platters from these two pieces of glass. I can't fuse them first, because I don't know if they come from the same sheet. Can I slump a single piece into a fluted mold and the other into a square mold? I have read that a single piece of glass doesn't slump successfully into a mold with deep indentations. I don't want to mess this up because it's all the glass I have to use for her. If I CAN slump them singly, please won't you also help with a firing schedule. I've only slumped fused pieces. Please help!
