Hi Ilene. I have had it a long time and it has worn off but I think its 700 watt. Just to say the size of your microwave kiln will also affect the timings. I had a smaller one originally and the fusing was much faster in that. Hope this helps.

Hola excelente trabajo , me podrías informar qué material se usa para este trabajo y donde lo puedo comprar felicidades me encanto!,

Hi Cath. Thanks for your comment. Because the metal is encased in the mwk it is safe. The only reason you cant put metal in a microwave oven normally is because the microwaves bounce off the metal back into the microwave oven itself which is dangerous. In a mwk the mwk absorbs the microwaves to create the heat, they do not pass through the mwk, so do not reach the metal. Hope this helps :)

I had some luck with heating up a pendant to get the bail off. I put it in the oven at 275 degrees farenheit for 25 minutes.

Hi Judi. Many thanks for sharing that information. I will give it a try :)

Thank you for sharing your process. I was especially interested in how you used the dremel cutting wheel. Approximately how long did you do the firepolish & was it on full power? Inquiring minds want to know😊. Thanks a bunch.

Hi Judi. Thanks for your comments. The firing schedule for the fire polish is above in the description :)

Does anyone know if you can use a microwave kiln to do copper enamelling?

Interesting! Where did you get the microwave kiln from?

Hello Gunner. I dont remember where I got it from it was a long time ago, sorry but it is called MagicFuse. I used to have one of the small fuseworks ones and I used to get a lot of breakages. I find the magicfuse one is more controllable with less shocking to the glass. :)

Hi can you tell me what power the mwk kiln was on. Thanks mine is 800w and does 100%/80%/50/30%

Hi Chelsea. I use a dremel diamond wheel to cut. You can see how I do it in video 6. Hope this helps :)

Please tell me what glue you use to glue the bails on

Hello Kathy. I use E6000, please see my video number 11 which shows you how I do the gluing for the best results. Also in video 3 I show where I get my bails very cheaply and how I choose what bails to use. :)

Can you fire any kind of glass or only fuse glass, bc I have tons of stain glass

Hi Mellisa. I dont see why not, provided all the glass is the same coe. I dont use stained glass personally, maybe someone can comment further.

Unless you know what your glass is, you would have to experiment to see if each piece is compatible with each other piece. The most common coes are 90 coe and 96 coe and they don't play well together. Bullseye, for example, sells 90 coe glass. Spectrum (now Oceanside) is normally 96 coe.

How long did you fire polish for ??

Hi Kim. ratio 3-1 water to vinegar. It doesnt have to be exact, just guess, it still works :)

Have you ever used a casting mold in the microwave?

@ArtsandCraftsTI

Hi Lyn. I used one once and it broke. However, I know it is possible to use one because many people do. I would just advise to heat gently to start off with, maybe at 30% or 40% or 50% heat for a few minutes, and gradually increase. The alternative is stainless steel cookie cutters which you can use in the mwk. :)

I don’t understand the fire polish, can you please explain?

Hi Shane. When you have rough edges on a piece (after grinding for example), a fire polish literally polishes the piece to make it smooth again without changing the shape of the piece. Hope that helps :)

Hello Grazia. Thank you for your comment. You need to fire polish it in the kiln. Details in my video and schedule in the description. You must soak it first in vinegar and water as detailed in the video too. Hope this helps
