HELP! stability of annealing process question!
Hello y'all:
Im trying to make small glass chunks for jewelry. Basically extra extra large frit. Ive tried soft glass and boro, and I finally got a process down to give me the right sized pieces in boro.
Now that I have chunks, I want to set them into jewelry.
My process involves a water quench, and in many of my chunks I see fractures. Im worried that the chunks will fail after being put into a piece of jewelry. I flame polished a few, and am getting ready to anneal. If they survive the annealing process, do you think im ok? If not, can something be done?
Thanks,
TA
