Thanks for this! I love that no separator is required for slumping over chalk. No ZYP, no thinfire, nothing! I like to slump green stringers over chalk for curvy flower stems. Love your videos!

I love the green stringer idea! My cousin and I are doing orange right now, for pumpkin lines

Thank you! Not everyone has access to the fancy slumping stuff, and chalk's cheap, so why not use it?

Thank you for this. You answered my questions perfectly, and as you said, very little info exists. I want to shape stringers to break them up to represent stems with a curve. I thought I might have to wrap the chalk with kiln paper. I am glad I don't have to.

I'm glad I could be of use! I want sure if I could share the link in the group or I would have done it directly. I find 1240 gives wider waves, and a spent kiln shelf won't let glass stick at that temp. You could throw this fire or papyrus down just in case though

@@StephFuses Do you go fast up and fast down to 700° and then kiln off?

@StephFuses 5 ай бұрын

Usually I do about 600 up to top temp, and then off. and leave them be until they're under 200@@dianacrick5089

I figure not everyone wants to spend a lot of money on slumping forms for wavy pieces for one project, but a box or pack of chalk is cheap. So why not see what it does? I've used it 2-3 more times, and it's still holding up in the kiln.

Good test! Going higher or holding longer will definitely help with getting more dimension…

I did some for Halloween, and used 1240 and it was much better

And I've used it 2-3 more times in the kiln, and the chalk is still holding up!

@susanhardy1443 4 ай бұрын

Thx Steph!! Can you use the chalk multiple times or one and done? If multiple times, any idea about how many times?

@StephFuses 3 ай бұрын

I've used the chalk 3 times so far and been fine. I do know eventually it will crumble, but it depends on the heat you're taking it to, how you treat it, how humid your workspace is, etc.
