I could use some advise on getting my backing on better. Anyone have any insight?
I usually try to look at which part of the jelly looks best then flatten one side where I want to put my backing. I then use full rods of backing color and heat and stripe the color on trying hard not to catch any air bubbles between the stripes or leave any gaps between.
I've also used frit to back them, heating then doing frit pick up method, melt it in, heat and pick up more frit till satisfied that it is all covered. Hope this helps.
