Another element that has been consistent in all of these trial pieces is the use of glue to hold the small pieces in place to facilitate the transfer from the board on which they were created and the kiln shelf.
In the first piece below, there is only one piece of large, clear frit in the entire piece, and yet the large air bubble is to one side of this chunk. Is it the gas trying to escape from around the frit chunk OR the moisture from the glue trying to escape?????

| Clear, reactive on the bottom, green and periwinkle fine frit and one large, clear chunk of frit in the middle, and clear on the top |
No glue was used in the assembly of the piece below and yet there are air bubbles throughout the piece, although small ones.

| Clear, reactive on the bottom, fine cyan frit, French vanilla fine frit, and large clear chunks of frit in the middle, topped with clear glass. |
