The temperature depends on several things: the kiln, how fast you want to pour, etc. A slow pour could occure as low as 1500 deg F and a fast at 1800 deg F I think I used about 1600 in this case
If you covered the Kaiser Lee Board dams with fiber paper you don't get KLB sticking to your glass. Also lately we are spraying it with Boron nitride and have no problems with sticking. I really like your idea of 3 holes. I think it helped that you started with pattern bar glass to create this nice pattern..
with all the nonsense I have been watching on stained glass, slumping, etc this is about the most productive I have seen on melting glass. Sort of old fashioned, use what you have to do the work and no fancy expensive rigs.
The best way to get paper off the glass is 1. wash it with soap and water first 2. if material is left, use a fine wire brush to remove anything remaining..
Loved this video. But I am still terrified to do it. I have 2 kilns. A bigger one and a smaller one. I wanted to use the small one. Do you ever do a video using a smaller table top kiln? And a smaller pot to drip it below? I am new at it thanks so much
It was hard to see if you were wearing a respirator when taking the paper off the glass, (after fusing). I always heard that was when the fibers are the most dangerous. I just got a new one with P-100 filters just to be safe.
Excuse me, I have a question... So, glass slumping works in every kind of kiln? or should I have a special kiln for glass??? and the last thing... where can I get the fiber paper? thanks!
one thing you have to watch all the time especially when a piece is ready never handel it without having a gloves cause there is a very tiny shap needles forms on the edges of the glass. getting such fiber under your skin is a disaster for you and might be killing so please never handle glass like this ignorant person althoug the glass is good and beauiful but your health comes first. not recomended this way sorry.
Seems to me, if you work with glass melting, you should already KNOW it's going to be hot!! People can't start at your first baby step every time they do a video with a new technique. If you don't already know to protect yourself, just stay in your bubble and you won't get hurt.
let me tell you something first you do not follow any health and safety measures how could you teach people something based on wrong practice even the basic staff you need to do you are not doing. how dare you present a vedio handiling glass with bare hand and not using gloves this is rubbish. sorry you are setting a bad example while you suppose to present it with serious consideration of safety which you are not doing. please next time think about it. many thanks
hartaje kindly make your own videos showing the "correct" way. This isn't a full-on training video, showing how he made it. Anyone who has a kiln like that, don't you think they already know the safety bits? (If not, they won't be using the kiln for long.) Appreciate the safety concerns, but, try not to nit-pick.
+hartaje Have you ever worked with glass? You have no idea what you're talking about at all. He's being perfectly safe, this doesn't require gloves. In fact, they would be a hindrance and could actually result in injury.
Am Argentinian and your music is what make me feel in love with your channel ...am you new subscriber
I have learned so much in one night about glass fusion. Thank you for the knowledge!
Could you do a video about your firing schedule and kiln settings?
Nice work. I would put a frame around it and make a glass picture out of it. Love the pattern on the shiny side of it.

Great ! Beautiful work! Please, can you tell me what temperature you set the kiln and for how long time?
The finished pattern looks like how water looks when you drop something in it, cool ripple or 'vibrating' effect 👍
Love the colors

Love this tutorial, how did you get the paper off of the finished product?
Yes I sliced it. It does make nice embellishments.
Thanks
Murray
Thanks for this great information!
Many thanks for the info, it is very helpfull. Whick is the temperature that the oven has to reach ? thanking you in advance for your replay, saludos.
That was so awesome!

2. if material is left, use a fine wire brush to remove anything remaining..
Thank you! that was awesome!
Is there much stress in that block? I knap glass and that would make a beautiful point.
Many thanks for the info..The only problem is that my polt glass doesn't shine like yours?What do wrong?
Very cool!
beautiful!

Beautiful
I want to get a kiln for glass art, what size make and model is the on used to in this pot melt?
Did you slice it up ? Bet it made nice embellishments for plates and bowl

thank you for this video. very helpful
Thank you for sharing 🤟🏻😊

Thanks. I'll pass that info along.
i have a kiln that requires cones for the kiln sitter, i am having issues because i don't have a pyrometer, any suggestions?
i want to buy that piece of glass
How can I get some glass chunks like that. I would love to knap some arrowheads from that.
Al Diehl just stop by your local glass blowing shop and ask
PERFECTO.... FELICITACIONES
Very beautiful, your work! :-)
Has the ceramic pot ever broken due to the temperature change?
Please tell me you didn’t break that beautiful Rasta glass it looked like a bob marley cassette tape artwork cover
could you use a microwave?
Por que tango...?
👏👏👏🙏
Santa Claus, your summer job is soooo boring.
It's Santa
Rastafara!
The music was just so distraction that i could not watch it to the end
That is so true
the fuck you gonna do with a brick of glass

Your video is too hard to watch, because it is S-T-R-E-T-C-H-E-D to the left and right
the bothem looks a bit like a woman
