We get lots of requests for firing schedules. We took a little time to put this together for you.....

Kiln Programs

*Temperatures and soak times may vary from kiln to kiln. (TEST FIRST!)

Tack Fuse (layers of glass minimally melt into each other, giving a glued look)

Step #1 3 hours to 1000 degrees F
Step #2 hold for 15 min. @ 1000 (soak)
Step #3 1 min. to 1320 degrees F
Step #4 10 min. @ 1320 (soak)
Step #5 1 min. to 1100 degrees F (crash)
Step #6 2 hours to 960 degrees F
Step #7 2 hours @ 960 degrees F (soak)
Step #8 2 hours to 600 degrees F
OFF

Partial Fuse (layers of glass melt into each other, partially leaving a soft texture)

Step #1 2 hours to 1000 degrees F
Step #2 15 min. @ 1000 (soak)
Step #3 1 min. to 1425 degrees F
Step #4 10 min. @ 1425 (soak)
Step #5 1 min. to 960 degrees F
Step #6 2 hours @ 960 (soak)
OFF

Full Fuse (layers of glass melt flush with one another)

Step #1 2 hours to 1000 degrees F
Step #2 15 min. @ 1000 (soak)
Step #3 1 min. to 1425 degrees F
Step #4 12 min. @ 1425 (soak)
Step #5 1 min. to 960 degrees F
Step #6 2 hours @ 960
OFF

Slump Program (slumping glass into or over molds)

Step #1 3 hours to 1000 degrees F
Step #2 1 min. to 1350 degrees F
Step #3 15 min. @ 1350 (soak)
Step #4 1 min. to 960 degrees F
Step #5 2 hours @ 960 degrees (soak)
OFF

***These programs are a general outline. There are many factors that go into a successfully fired project, and we cannot guarantee any results in your project. We hope this will serve as a helpful tool in creating your firing schedules.***
