Small Fused Project step-by-step instructions:

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

Step 2:  Position Glass

- Using a tiny spec of Fuser's Glue on the outer edges position the two glass circles together
- Using a tiny spec of Fuser's Glue on the outer edges position the all of the stars around each deep V from the Star of David.
-
Let dry for at least 10 minutes before moving.
- Apply Fuser's Glue to the surface of the glass around the white stars using the points of the Star of David to draw a straight ling outward and then sprinkle the blue frit over the white stars. Pat to hold into place.
- Let dry for at least 10 minutes before moving.
- Apply Fuser's Glue to the surface of the glass around the blue stars using the points of the Star of David to draw a straight ling outward.  Use a paper plate to control the white frit from getting onto the blue frit areas and then sprinkle the white frit over the blue stars. Pat to hold into place.
- Let dry for at least 10 minutes before moving.

· Clean & Prep Kiln: 
    · Apply Kiln Wash (Shelf Primer)
    · Cut Shelf Paper 1/2 inch larger than the circles
    · Place Kiln Shelf Supports, Shelf and Shelf Paper into Kiln

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

Step 3: Full Fuse 

Set the 3 layered prepared glass into the kiln to fire making sure the outer edges align. 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 the handle in the kiln.

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 4 - Prepare for Slump Process:
Take the kiln shelf out of the kiln. Using the kiln posts, set one under each side of the oval drop ring.  Make sure that they are not more than 3 inches high.  They can be 2 or even 1 inch for less of a drop. Make sure the mold in the middle of the kiln and use a level across the top of the mold to make sure that all directions are level.  This last step is very important as the glass drops so it will be even appearance.

NOTE: It is "Very" important that you slump at the slowest possible setting the slower the better to control the drop.  When you reach 1,290 to 1,300 degrees, make sure you check frequently.  As the glass drops it is very important that you do not let it soak too long once it hits the bottom.  You do not want the glass to tbe too thin on the sides and have all the glass to puddle on the bottom.  Flash Vent to 1,000 if needed to stop the movement of the glass.
