I have a plate I made using this mold. It’s 6”x6”. … [it is broken into] 8 large pieces. Is it possible to piece it together into the mold and full fuse the plate again in the mold? … Or do I need to try to piece it together on the shelf paper and full fuse and hope for the best?
Full fusing in the mould is unlikely to be satisfactory. The glass at full fuse will move toward the bottom of the mould, making a thick puddle. Alternatively, it will form a large thick bubble at the bottom, as I see no vent holes in the corners at the base of the mould. It will also have significant marking from dragging along the mould and from the mould texture. It also presents some risks to shorten the life of the mould.
Fusing a dropped and broken piece that has been slumped is unlikely to be successful, whether fused in the mould or fused flat first.
