does anyone have any tack fuse schedules for bullseye? i have lots of full and slump fuse ones but none for tacking.
help!
Hi Helen,
Have you checked the Bullseye Tech Notes - they are great, has all the info you could ask for.
Think this is the one who gives the tack fuse details.

Sorry Steph I haven't - I've been meaning to have a play with tack fusing, but not got round to it yet. It's on my ever expanding list of things to do. ;D I've got to make a beady zoo now...I might be some time! LOL! ;D
And hi Petra! Lovely to see you here. :D

it's for that interior design shop but i have a sneaky feeling it won't work. i DO need a tack fuse schedule tho. been wanting to give it a go myself for ages & thought i had one.
Hi Steph, I dont know whether this is any help to you but I have just finished some 30cm x 10cm panels in a textured design (tack fused i guess you may call it). They have come out just perfect, rounded edges, strong texture, all pieces have slumped over each other nicely. I used your full fuse schedule but dropped the top temperature to 730 degrees centigrade (held for 10 mins).

as far as i can gather pam, that's the way you do it. keep the same schedule for full fuse but reduce that top temperature :)
ps: got photos of these pieces? ;)
I'LL post them tonight when I am back from work.
OOOoohhhhh yummy !!!! I love tack fused stuff...... it's so very tactile !!!
As promised. What do you think?
That is gorgeous Pam, I have some pictures of my newbie tack fusing that I must post in my diary link but youve kind of put me to shame now with your lovliness :-[
oo, they're lovely pam. i particularly like the bottom one. how are you going to display them?
Well, I have lots of ideas but the easiest (for me that is ) was to put them in a block of wood. Hubby bought some 4 inch whoops 10cm oak, routered it and put a slit in the middle for thme to stand in. Looks quite classy.
They both look great Pam :)
can i see the bases too? i'm thinking of ways to display my new work (which i havent made yet but it's in my head!) and that was one of the ways i was going to do it. did you glue them in? thanks pam :)
OOooohhhh... very nice Pam !!!!!
I love the second one...... aww, heck... I love the first one too !!!
:D
Yeh - they are lovely Pam - like!!!!! ;D ;D ;D
