The pieces that I fuse on shelf paper sometimes get a haze on them and it doesn't occur when I use kiln wash. Bullseye can't give me an answer why this occurs. It occurs at all temps on certain colors. It's not just at the edges but can also be throughout the suface at random spots. I love the convenience of the paper but hate losing good art pieces.

Is it happening on the bottom (where the wash and paper are) or on top? In either case, it might be related to the white devitrification that occurs when glass is held between 1200-1500 for too long. Perhaps the paper is acting as an insulator to a greater degree than the kiln wash, especially if you are using more than one layer. You might work at making sure the temp crashes as fast as possible to about 1000F after it has reached the state you want. You might also check if you can go up faster.
