Is it ok to...

Hi

Quick question about using Silver Foil.

I want to layer base glass (probably black opal), then a piece of silver foil, then a smaller piece of dichro, then clear glass (the one which is recommended for the foil).

Is this ok?  I mean to put dichro on top of foil - either way up if its clear backed?

Also, just thought......is a full fuse schedule ok with this or should I reduce any of the heat/hold?

Thanks folks!

No idea whether the dichro coating would have a reaction with silver foil or not, only one way to find out 

As for the fusing schedule, I'd try whatever schedule you'd use for the effect you want (if you want a full fuse, use a normal full fuse) you shouldn't need to do anything diffirent just because you're using dichro or foil.

I agree, the only thing to do is to try it and see. Because the silver migrates into the glass there may be a reaction with the dicrho and the yellowing may change the way the glass colour shifts but it will be worth a try on a test piece. I have used dichro with palladium leaf before and that worked fine.
