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. 

- Optional: Create Glass Lace to use instead of just sprinkling glass frit.  See our Tips and Tricks on Glass How To Do Techniques.

· Clean & Prep Kiln: 
    · Apply Kiln Wash (Shelf Primer)
    · Cut Shelf Paper to fit shelf
    · Place Kiln Shelf Supports, Shelf and/or Shelf Paper into Kiln

Step 2:  Prepare Glass
- Using the Fuser's Glue cover the surface of the Glass Tree and position Bear.  Then either use your glass lace or sprinkle the white frit over the tree. Let dry for at least 10 minutes do not move.

Tip: Because this is a nightlight you want to keep the light bulb from being to glaring so cover the surface of the clear generously with your glass frit or position the bear accordingly over the bulb area.

Make sure the glass and the night light clip are clean and dry and before applying adhesive.  Place the clip on the center, back side along the bottom edge of the glass tree.  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.  (If you are using E6000 Adhesive, maximum strength is 24 hours and it is important to clean up any excess immediately.)

(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 in order for the glue to bond.
