I’m sorry I don’t. I don’t do enough microwave fusing to know. Give it a try!

hi Susan like your glass videos would love to get into this.Kilns do they smell while firing or do you need a studio? Thanks foe these!

Hi Ellen, generally kilns don’t smell when firing but some of the things you put in there can. Fire paper is something that can produce a small so you can use kiln wash instead.

Can you use a torch instead of kiln? I’ve never seen anything like that before it’s really cool! Where do you get your supplies?

@SusanMcGarryGlass

Kathleen Small town girl - I’ve never tried a torch so you’d know better than me. I get most of my glass from DichroicInc.com and my bails from Aanraku.com I get my cords & chains from both of them.

I only have a manual kiln. I am thinking low for an 45 mins, medium 45 then high to 1425. I am guessing!

Emily Corona every kiln, especially microwave kilns are dependent on SO many different factors including type of microwave kiln, power of microwave, type & thickness of glass, etc. So you will have to do a few tests.

Have you ever tried PMC? I thought it'd make a beautiful pairing: Precious Metal Clay's (gold, fine silver, copper,bronze) and glass!

I have. It’s expensive & stains the kiln shelf so be sure to dedicate a shelf just for metal clay

Tried one in my microwave kiln today and it worked out OK. A little flatter than yours, but hard to control the final heat sequence.

Gluing bails on glass, is there a preferred method for a finished look?

Can you do this tutorial with your firing sched??

Hi Susan, thankyou for your tutorials. I’m a beginner and enjoying the experience. With this firing schedule do you mean just that 1 segment? 260celcius up to 760celcius for 10min then off. Was just wondering about annealing. Kind regards Sue.

@SusanMcGarryGlass

Sue Russ yes, 1 segment. These are so small, no need to anneal

Sue Russ I want to clarify, it’s not that small pieces don’t need to be annealed it’s that they are so small that they can anneal as the kiln is naturally cooling down. So no need to program a segment for annealing.

Do you have any recommendations on making a cross with Dichroic bits?

Dany Ledon At about 9 minutes into the video I mentioned the firing schedule I used. 500F per hr to 1400F & hold 10 min (260C per hr to 760C & hold 10 min) But of course it might be different for your kiln.

1400 too high
