Step-By-Step Instructions & Glass How To information

 

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

Prep Mold: Apply a good coat of kiln wash to the mold, set aside to dry.

Step 2:  Apply Paint - Drop Blue paint onto surface of clear glass and use a damp sponge brush use a straight up and down motion, dab the paint over the entire surface.

Tip: Make sure you sponge is moist so the paint will be applied as a thin layer, almost like a water color application.  Let dry about 10 minutes.

Lay the Doves on the glass surface at least an inch from any edge.  Once you are happy with the location you will then know where you want to apply the white paint to form clouds. 

Drop Whites paint onto surface of glass and use a damp sponge brush use a straight up and down motion, dab the paint over the entire surface.

Tip: Make sure you sponge is moist, you want the paint to be thicker in some areas so let dry and repeat until you satisfied with the cloud effect.  You may find that you need to clean your sponge brush throughout the application of the white to avoid any blue mixing to much with the white. Let dry about 10 minutes.

Step 3:  Position Doves - You can place them on the wet paint but should not try to move them or the paint will come off or you can wait until you place the Night light painted glass base in the kiln and the paint is dry to position your doves.
Step 4: Full Fuse -

Tip: It is important to note that you need to make sure to touch all glass pieces by the outer edges to avoid finger oil or prints on the surface of the glass.

Place on top of the kiln shelf paper/shelf and full fuse.

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.
Step 5: Prepare for Slump Process - Take the kiln shelf out of the kiln. Using the kiln posts, set the kiln washed mold in the middle of the kiln. Place the prepared fused project on the mold and slump fuse.

Note: If you do not get a full slump, you can ramp up another 5 degrees (never more than 20 degrees more) and never hold more than 20 minutes at any temperature.

Step 6: Adding Night Light Clip - 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.

NOTE: If using a glue on bail to hang the glass, clean glass and dry.  Attach the glass hanger finding to the top backside of the glass precut using the Triolyse glue.  Maximum strength is reached after 6 hours.
