Step 1: Preparation
· Clean Glass using Alcohol or Dish Washing
Detergent. Then dry and set aside on a clean piece of
paper or cardboard.
-
Using a tiny spec of Elmer’s Glue
position each flower on Clear Night Light Base.
Let dry for at least 10 minutes or until flowers do not
move.
-
Using a thin layer of Elmer’s Glue
paint the stem and sprinkle with green frit. Let
dry 10 minutes and then turn upside down over a paper
plate in order to recycle any that is loose.
- Repeat for Red Frit on Yellow flower and Repeat for
Yellow frit on Orange Flower.
· 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: 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 3 - 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
4: Adding Night Light Clip
Make sure the
glass is clean and dry and when placing the clip on the center,
back side along the bottom edge. Attach
the Metal Night Light Clip using the Triolyse glue. We suggest using small clips or even
clothes pins to hold the clip in place while drying. Maximum strength is reached after 6
hours.
(Read
the Tips & Tricks for using Triolyse Glue) Tip:
If you are having trouble getting the clip to attach and
you are sure the glass and clip are clean it is most
likely you need to scuff up the surface of either the
metal and/or the glass where you are attaching the clip
to provide a surface for the glue to bond.
