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

Step 2:  Assemble Knob for Fusing. 
If you want a uniform design for repeating when creating several of the same item, we suggest you cut a small pattern out of plain paper to use when cutting out  Dicro Slide ™

Place the glass shape on the back side of the Dicro Slide ™ and trace the shape of the circle.  Follow the instructions for soaking and applying the dicro slide. Dicro Slide goes on top of the Black or White piece. 

After the Dicro Slide is fairly dry and not moving, set the clear shape on top. 

Note: if you place a small drop of moisture on the bottom of your clear piece before setting on the dicro slide base and let them sit, we have found they will dry together and thus eliminate the need for any glue to adhere them together. But, make sure the two pieces are lined up evenly.

After about 30 minutes to an hour, or wait until the next day, take your X-acto™ Knife and trim off any excess Dicro Slide ™ or decal by using a down ward angle so as not to lift off any product. This produces a nice clean edge with a consistent color and gives a more refined appearance.

TIP: Dicro Slide ™ and Scrap Dichroic is less sensitive in application and can be fired the same day.   

Step 3:  Place Project 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. 

Step 4:  Kiln Firing Process- Full Fuse 

SMALL PROJECTS  ·  FULL FUSE  ·  2 LAYERS

Process Temp/Min Desired Temp Soak Temp Action
Increase/Temp   30°F/ 18°C 1,000°F / 535°C 1 Min. Remove Vent
Increase/Temp   Full Speed 1,400°F / 815°C 10+ or 10- Min.  Observe
Flash/Cool Highest Speed 1,100°F / 590°C 0 Min. Open & Close Lid
Hold/Temp   5°F/ 3°C 955°F / 513°C 10 min. Hold Fire
Cool/Temp   Do Nothing 100°F / 38°C N/A DO NOT LOOK

Step 5:  Finish  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.  Sometimes during the full fuse process the project might grow slightly.  Grind the knob decoration if it doesn’t fit perfectly in the cabinet /drawer pull knob.  Once it fits the knob it may be necessary to fire polish the knob decoration to polish the ground edge. 

Step 6:  Fire Polish if Necessary The Slump firing schedule is used to fire polish. 

SMALL/MEDIUM PROJECTS  ·  SLUMP

Process Temp/Min Desired Temp Soak Temp Action
Increase/Temp   15°F/ 9°C 1,000°F / 538°C 1 Min. Remove Vent
Increase/Temp   Full Speed 1,430°F / 776°C 10+ or 10- Min.  Observe
Flash/Cool Highest Speed 1,100°F / 593°C 0 Min. Open & Close Lid
Hold/Temp   5°F/ 3°C 955°F / 513°C 30 min. Hold Fire
Cool/Temp   Do Nothing 100°F / 38°C N/A DO NOT LOOK

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 7:  Attach Knob Glue knob decoration to cabinet / drawer knob.
Use of E600 Glue or an epoxy glue with appropriate drying time before use is important to insure the pin back will stay attached.
