·
Step1 - Preparation
· Clean Glass using Alcohol or Dish Washing
Detergent. Then dry and set aside on a clean piece of
paper or cardboard.
· Cut out Black Decal Design & set aside.
Note: It is important to follow the instructions that come
with your decals! Keeping you glass free of oil from your
fingers is important.
· Clean & Prep Kiln:
· Apply Kiln Wash (Shelf Primer)
· Cut Shelf Paper to fit shelf
· Place Kiln Shelf Supports, Shelf
and Shelf Paper into Kiln

·
Step 2: Put Glass project together
· Apply the Red and yellow glass paint to the white
base using a brush to blend as desired. Note that we
left some area white. Leave the paint dry, 20 to 30
minutes, and you can use a toothpick as a tool to remove
any paint with the point or the side of it.
· Soak the decal for 25 to 45 seconds and slide if off
onto the surface of the clear glass cap. Make sure
to smooth out any air bubbles. Let the decal dry for
at least 30 minutes, best over night.
· Position the clear on top of the painted white base, evenly.

Step 3: Place into Kiln Using Fingers around outer edges
of the fusible glass project or better yet wear 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: 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 6: Adding Jewelry Findings
This
project uses a Gold Jewelry Bail which is glued to the
back of the pendant using Triolyse glue. Note it is
important to wait 6 hours for full binding of the glue
before cleaning up and residue or wearing.
