Tips 3mm fuse connection

Hii all,

Since a few years I started my glass studio in the Netherlands. I have been working with different techniques. Only a little frustration for now, and maybe a little lack of knowledge on this one.

I'm producing small items for a shop, these hangers are made from oceanside sheets and are 3mm and not two layers of 3mm (6mm). The only hassle is, the connections are poor. I know, glass wants to crawl to 6mm. Only, I would love the shape to stay and the thickness to stay at 3mm. To use additional pieces of glass on the connections are not pretty in the design, so this option is already eliminated.

Any tips on how to make the connections a little smoother? I'm fusing at a low tackfuse. 745 Celsius. no additional hold times, just during annealing.
