Probably I need to get hold of some moldlay and try that technique as a technical test. Kiln firing glass using lost wax may appear similar to metal techniques, appear! it is not concrete that is used but a Quartz/plaster/clay investment mix. Glass goes in cold and melts in the kiln, it can be in th…
