What is the firing schedule for firing in microwave’s kiln?

I am a male that loves to make jewelry for my wife, family, and friends. This looks like a lot of fun. I also like Boro glass but it looks a little too advance for me right now. I can't wait to learn more about fused glass artwork. I can see endless possibilities. Thank you Angel from The Bay

You have shared so much vital info thank you

A microwave kiln sounds so interesting! I can't believe my microwave can be a kiln!

@FusedGlassArtworkandMore

Жыл бұрын

You can make them from clay that is fired and sometimes I use fiber paper for kilns that are thick.

A couple of questions to get me started. (I'm so excited!!) 1. You recommended a 900-watt microwave with a turntable for better control. Did you do a video on selecting a microwave? I need help with matching the size of the microwave to the size of the kiln. 2. Related ... Do you recommend a large or an extra-large microwave kiln? I'm thinking the extra-large may not fit a 900-watt microwave, but I really don't know for sure. Thank you for the inspiration and information!!!

Hi Debra, I have both sizes and both work and fit in the microwave. Not sure I did a video on picking one out, just talked about the microwaves.

I found microwaves on craigs list or resale shops or around $10-25$. Ask you friends before buying .

Can you fuse sea glass?

Can I fuse lusters? And can I fuse glass in porcelain?

Okay, I see the topic is glass, but I don't know much about glass melting. But I am trying to find a way to melt metal without using gas. So is it possible to melt metal in this?

Can small glass be toughened in microwave oven?

Can i tricycle wine bottles using a microwave kiln?

Where are the links to supplies?

When you put the kiln with the glass in the microwave how do you set up the temperature and which temperature do you set up from the beginning. Will it be alwys the same temperature or are there different stages? My kiln is a samll one and I have to buy a microwave (second hand most probably). Thanks.

Sorry I missed your comment. I use the microwave at full power. If using the small microwave kiln a piece should take about 3-4 at 800-900 watt microwave.

Is sea glass okay to use?

Where can I buy the over glaze? I can not read the name of the company.

I check the kiln out on Amazon, some of the reviews say that it only lasted a couple of uses before it started cracking, this is the way that they are letting it cool down that it cracks? Or is it just the nature of the kiln? How old is your kiln?

I have been using mine for a long time with no cracks and I have 3. I do always let them cool down slowly.

What do you mean when you say glass always wants to be 6mm thick (at 5:38) ?

@FusedGlassArtworkandMore

Fused glass when it is melting a t full fuse will want to be 6mm thick so it will pull up or spread out depending how many layers you have

Can you also use it for enamel?

A microwave kiln is all based on your kiln and microwave, you will have to test yours. Start with 5 minutes and see if it is glowing through the top hole. if not add a minute at a time.
