glass melting temps


Recommended Posts

Here's a great page with information about the different stages of glass in a kiln. Your kiln is plenty hot at 1300 degrees celcius.

Here's another page that explains a schedule. Glass requires time as well as heat to melt or slump.

I use a kiln with a digital controler which is fantastic for glass fusing as the schedules are already built into the controller base on speed and desired result, such as a fast full fuse, slow slump, etc...

 

You can get the same result with a pyrometer and kitchen timer, its just a bit more intensive. A lot of cermists slump glass bottle using cone 016.

 

Here's another great article on using cones to slump bottles:
