Dear Orchid Buddies,

    It has been a long time since I have posted a question but here
    goes. Do any of you have experience with firing fused dichroic glass
    in PMC+ or PMC 3? I am using Effetre (moretti) glass that has a COE
    (coefficient of expansion) of 104. Is that COE compatible with the
    COE of PMC? Also what suggestions would you have for ramp times and
    temps? Do you get glass distortion during the sintering process? Do
    you need to under fire the glass while fusing? 

    Please offer your pearls of wisdom, 

Warmly,
Cathy Wheless
