I made these when I was a kid. I do have some ideas. First, the glitter was a bad inclusion in the kit, it definitely messed up the melting point. Second, that kit had about half as many beads as it needs. You need to have a mound of beads in order for them to melt down sufficiently. It really is a very cool craft when it works.

@HaralHeisto Жыл бұрын

I think this might happen because modern ovens are more accurately temperature controlled than they used to be. 20-30 years ago, an oven set to 375 would be clicking off at about 390 and clicking back on when it drops to 360. Nowadays with better PID controllers they'll be in the 370-380 range, and never quite getting hot enough to fully melt the beads. If you do try them again, nudge the temperature up rather than waiting longer

This reminds me of an emaille course that used to be taught at a local museum, only with way less steps. We would take a small copper plate, lay a design on top with copper wires and fill the design with (I think) glass powder. It would get melted in a very very hot oven. You'd have to add more powder and melt again a few times and then sand everything down until it was smooth. (I'm skipping a few minor steps for a more concise explanation). It was a very long and detailed process where you had to be very precise and patient. You'd end up with an artwork that was generally smaller than 5cm x 5cm. This course was taught to children.
