How do you fuse using pure silver gilt?
I had wanted to use the sheet of gilt on top of black fusible glass. I think I must put another sheet of glass over the sheet. Is this correct? Or can the sheet of silver gilt be set on top of the black glass and no further glass needed? It looks like the sheet of silver gilt will just float away in the kiln. Help!
This is a tricky area, because you haven't given me enough information, but then again I am not sure of what to ask.
I would put the silver on the glass and then fire it in a kiln with a temperature of about 750 degree F. which near the melting point of common glass, and well below the melting temperature of silver. This will cause the glass to lightly melt and then attach or absorb the silver.
You may want to try a lower temperature for the glass, as that I do not know what the softening or melting point of your fusible glass is at this moment.
