How to Fire Polish Glass with Lisa Vogt

[@GraceTorres-j5p]

I needed to know more about fire polish and you provided the knowledge.. You're a wonderful teacher. Thank you. Love the portrait!

[@laurayoder3553]

The self-portrait piece is magnificent!

[@janen2683]

Loved this! And your self portrait is my current favorite glass piece, Lisa.

[@sallybrown9194]

I LOVE your self portrait!!! You are a great instructor and so inspirational. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@LisaVogtglassartist]

Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words!

[@elssteensma]

Thank you for the info! I always assumed fire polish equals tack fuse temperature. This makes more sense!

[@Happy_glass2]

Great information!! Love the self portrait! Could you do a video on how you glue the project to the base? How do you support it so that it’s straight? Must be magic!

[@LisaVogtglassartist]

All great questions, I would love to make a video going more in depth on it!

[@stephencouitt3831]

Another great video Lisa!

[@vrothery50]

I heard “upcoming book”!

[@RacelleLaMar]

How do you attach the pieces to the base?

[@LisaVogtglassartist]

I glued it with E6000 :)

[@AnnetteRintelmann]

How long would you anneal that thick piece for your stands?

[@LisaVogtglassartist]

around 120 minutes depending on thickness and size :)

[@AnnetteRintelmann]

@@LisaVogtglassartist THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!

[@susanhardy1443]

Why do you have to rough up the edges before fire polishing?

[@LisaVogtglassartist]

It's not really "roughing up the edge" it's more about removing the texture left behind by the fiber paper to smooth out the edge in order to get the best quality and shiny edge possible. Hope this helps clarify!

Je n'ai pas compris la température de cuisson svp !

[@LisaVogtglassartist]

Un vernis à feu est proche d'une température fusionnée. (1365f pour COE96) J'ai ajusté la température en fonction de l'épaisseur du verre. J'espère que cela aide à clarifier et je suis désolé si cette traduction n'est pas parfaite, j'ai utilisé Google pour m'aider !

Why didn’t you cut out three exact pieces of your silhouette and then stack them instead of cutting one thick piece and breaking blades? Or maybe I misunderstood you… thanks Lisa! 🐢

[@LisaVogtglassartist]

The glass I used to create the silhouette was made by a free flow. It was unique and it originally inspired my design because I loved how the colors came together. So I made the glass "base" before i even came up with the idea lol. So it's just how it worked out, but it was so worth breaking the blades for this piece of art!
