STACKABLE FUSING FOOT RINGS (2)
Stackable Fusing Foot Ring (2 sets, refills) Transport fused glass to the next level by adding a 'blown glass style' stemmed foot to a draped bowl. Use the 48M138 Circle Foot Casting Mold to create a 3 1/4" (8.3 cm) diameter cast glass disk. Then shape and fuse the foot to the base of a bowl during a standard drape firing schedule. The bowl shown below was created on an Starfire Drape mold. The Key to Creating Blown Glass Finishes in your Kiln Proprietary reinforced fiber rings (sourced exclusively for this product) produce a polished, blown glass look. Standard fiber paper softens and compresses at draping temperatures, but these precisely cut reinforced rings remain stable. Package Includes: Foot Ring Refills (one time use) The package includes 2 sets of the Stackable Foot Rings plus a color information card with how-to instructions.
The 'Stemmed Foot' process: 1. Cast a 3 1/4" (85 mm) x 1/4" (6 mm) glass disk in the 48M138 Foot Casting Mold using leftover scrap glass pieces from your project. 2. Stack the 48M139 Foot Rings to create the 'V' shaped cone assembly (one set of Rings is included with the Foot Mold). 3. Place a pre-fused flat blank on a draping mold (such as the 48M137 Starfire mold) then center the Foot Ring cone assembly and stack the Cast Foot disk on top. 4. Set the kiln controller to the recommended drape fire schedule to shape the bowl, create the stemmed foot profile and fuse the foot - all in the same firing.
