Fw: [ATM] Slumping

[gjnelson at absamail.co.za (Geoff Nelson)]

Hi Vladomir

I have been sent a little information here and there the most useful 
came from a link to a site about fusing glass. I cannot remember the 
URL or the name but I will look for it . The site id called glass 
notes. I think it is www.glassnotes.com or do a search for it.

However I downloaded the following file that could be very useful.

Kind regards

Geoff
