    Hi, i am starting up with fusing again after a long break....going to use my oxide between 3" circles (ornaments), do I still do a bubble squeeze even tho I want the bubbles? Will a bubble hold defeat the purpose of the oxide bubbles? Thank you, Great videos!

    Question: Once the copper oxide is mixed with a liquid (e.g., glasstac) can it be stored for future use, pre-mixed, or will it dry out or become ineffective? If you mentioned this in the video and I missed it I apologize. I'm multi--tasking. Thanks!

    Steph, Thx for this video. Have you ever tried the oxide powder in-between a layer of tekta and an opal or transparent color ? Also wonder if you laid the two layers in a diamond pattern vs two layer square if they would shrink more.

    What temp did you fuse to? Full fuse?

    • @StephFuses
      @StephFuses 5 місяців тому

      I go to 1485 or thereabouts. My kiln is such a mess, it's 50 degrees too hot, takes forever to get to full fuse temp, so I officially go to 1390 on my display, which is 1440, because it'll take 4 hours to go between 1225 and 1390, even at 400-600 per hour. In my small kiln though, it's 1485, which is more of a proper fuse.

    Wow…. Your math is awesome! Have you ever used copper sulfate? I would like the hearts to be fatter. Would I just add more clear glass on top of it? I also I would like to run a wire through it so I can make little suncatchers with the hearts. BIG THANKS to you for sharing. 👍👍🐢

    • @StephFuses
      @StephFuses 5 місяців тому

      I've never used copper sulfate, but I can look into it. As to fatter hearts, pile on the clear! I make nnice fat hearts all the time. You can run a wire through, I recommend looking for nichrome wire, or high temp wire on Amazon and picking it up in a roll, not in the little hooks. It'll take some trial and error to get it right, but I'm sure you'll get it!
