[TheForge] Floating glass to back.

[jerry Frost]

Tin's SG is 7.3 and steel's SG is 7.8 so floating is no joy. Mild steel
won't float on molten tin. It's possible to come up with a stand to support
the cross's bottom surface just below the surface of the tin. The problem
then is freeing the piece from the tin once it's cooled. Tempering
(annealing) the glass takes considerable time and isn't finished till it's
cool. Also, I don't want to "tin" the cross.

Possible but maybe not practical. I'll put floating with tin in the maybe
files unless the kiln paper doesn't work or one of the art glass people
don't have a better alternative.

Thanks again guys. I LOVE brainstorming.
