Step-By-Step Instructions & Glass How To information

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

· Cut out Butterfly Decal

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

Step 2:  Place into Kiln Position the glass ovals together placing the Clear Dichroic butterfly in the middle and use a small spec of Glastac adhesive if necessary to hold them together.  Let dry 10 minutes.

Note: when firing a smaller piece of glass in the center, you should consider placing a few clear stringers in-between the glass above and below the smaller piece to allow air to escape when fusing and not captured around the smaller glass piece.  Make sure to not have the glass stringer hanging out over the edges but cut to fir the size of the larger base glass.

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.   Leave a minimum of 1/2" (13 mm) space between each project to ensure they do not touch and fuse together.
