Small Fused Project step-by-step instructions:

Clean Up Supplies:

· Rubbing Alcohol, Dish Washing Detergent
· Cloth with very little lint (old T-shirt)

· Step 1 - Preparation
· Clean Glass using Alcohol or Dish Washing Detergent. Then dry and set aside on a clean piece of paper or cardboard. 

· Clean & Prep Kiln: 
    · Apply Kiln Wash (Shelf Primer)
    · Cut Shelf Paper to fit shelf
    · Place Kiln Shelf Supports, Shelf and Shelf Paper into Kiln

- Apply a thin coat of the Glass Painters Medium to the surface of the base glass.
- Place your glass base on a paper plate.
- Sprinkle a light dusting over the surface of the glass.  When dry turn glass piece upside down and tap the back of it so that any excess falls on to the paper plate to be ready 

· Step 3: Prepare final pieces

- Use a tiny spec of Elmer's™ Glue to adhere the bat to the surface of the clear glass.
-Using your Ferro Goldrush Pen, put 2 small dots on the bat to represent the eyes  
- Place the clear on top of the white base.

· Step 4:  Place into Kiln Using Fingers around outer edges of the fusible glass project or better yet wear latex gloves, pick up and place the project on the kiln shelf paper/shelf.   Leave a minimum of 1/2" (13 mm) space between each project to ensure they do not touch and fuse together.

· Step 5: Kiln Firing Process- Full Fuse

· Step 6: Prepare Fused Project
If possible, leave the kiln sit unopened until the next day so your project has had plenty of time to anneal back to room temperature  and it is ready to use. Use abrasives on any rough edges you need to smooth.  If you do find you need to do a lot of abrasive or use a grinder you may need to refire the finished piece to polish the edges. 

· Step 7: Attach Tie-Tac or Pin Back.
It is important to judge the weight of the finished piece.  You may find that you should attach 2 Tie-Tacs so the weight of the glass piece will not pull a hole in the clothing.   If using one only, you should attach it approximately 1/3 rd of the way from the top of the glass pin on the backside.

Alternant choice - Attach a Metal Pin Bar

Using the Triolyse glue.  Make sure the glass is clean and dry and when placing it on the center, back side.  Maximum strength is reached after 6 hours. (Read the Tips & Tricks for using Triolyse Glue)
