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. 

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

· Break Glass Noodles into small pieces to fit and set aside

· Step 3: Add Frit
Sprinkle bottom glass with frit colors of your choice brush off of copper star fish.  The goal is to create an under water look. The added benefit of the frit is to provide paths for the air to escape or to create bubble depending upon how much is used and its position does not allow escape routes out to the edges. Place a clear glass on top.

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.

· Step 4  - Place 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.   Leave a minimum of 1/2" (13 mm) space between each project to ensure they do not touch and fuse together.

· Step 5 - Kiln Firing Process- Full Fuse
