    Was the attachment lost in the transition to the new site? Is it possible to have it reposted? Would love to see it.   Thanks!

    Thanks so much for your input, Trish!

    I have a set of Glow Glass in several colors; my thought was to put opaques of the same colors under the glow glass so that it would be prettier in daylight. I will try the different colors on top of plain flux and see what happens.

    Of course I am counter-enameling. ;-)

    in the topic Glow Glass in the forum General Discussions
    I recently had the opportunity to buy a lot of enamels and related tools from someone who was closing out. One of the things I came away with is a set of Glow Glass powders.

    After three attempts, each piece I've made with the glow powder has cracked.

    I started with a base of hard fusing clear (Thompson 2040) on copper. I thought I knew this was a good idea -- somebody set me straight if I got that wrong.

    Then two coats of a Thompson opaque (1000 series), blue on one piece and white on the others.

    Then glow powder, then a top coat of medium fusing clear (Thompson 2030).

    Is anything leaping out as the potential cause of the cracking? Is it the Glow Glass?

    Any thoughts much apprciated.

    RM
