Most fusers either haven't been exposed to coe104 or have no interest in it for various reasons. I'm open to experimenting and will share any discoveries that I find helpful. The one thing that concerns me is compromising the stability of the glass with additional heat work and how to know there is a problem if it's not immediately apparent. By that I mean that the piece did't break in the kiln - if it looks like a success is it safe to assume all is well? Is there a way to test for proper annealing or a way to determine if a piece is likely crack in the future?
