To make stringers into the desired shape I wanted I heated up these thin strings of glass and formed them into to shapes
To piece together all the pieces I mostly used hairspray because it burns away the best in the kiln
I sprayed the pieces and placed the pieces where I wanted them
I choose some pieces to be tac fused or full fused
Tac Fuse vs Full Fuse
The difference between tac fuse and full fuse is that when you set the oven on tac fuse when the glass is in it and when it gets heated it keeps it individual shape and doesn't disfigure. But when you full fuse the glass melts down and looses its shape and blends together with the other glass around it. The temperature of a full fuse is 1,350–1,501 °F and tac fuse is 1,251-1,350°F.
