rules I am still here lurking but decided to not get into the stoage auctions . I went to several in the memphis area and thought about it alot as I am retired and have the time and enough money to play, but realized that if I bought one what would I do with it ? I have very poor people skills and always hated the retail trade( father was a merchant) so I just lurk and listen. I don't know for sure what you are talking about but the only way I know to keep the label good would be to stand the bottle in a 5 gal. bucket of warm water for a day or so until the label falls off on its own then very gently lay on wax paper with another layer on top to keep it flat and lay a weight on it until it is completly dry . While this is happening the bottle is slumped in a kiln , after the label is dry and flat just use a childs glue stick to reapply. Does this help? The glass needs to be slumped in a kiln where to temp. can be controlled so it just doesn't become a puddle . I am in the process of learning to work with warm glass ie. slumping, fusing, melting. that was the reason for my question in first post. I have found that the glass used in glass fusing is about 5 times as expensive as regular art glass used in stained glass which can't be used in fusing, any help?
