On your schedule you have skip dose that mean to use 250 again ??

You have been lucky... The freeze fusing temperature is quite critical which is somethig not easily done in the microwave. I have tried but "over cooked" it and ended up with a round blob. Now I'm sure you kept a log of your firing time in the microwave so you should be able to re-create the same results again.... Well done and good luck

I am looking for moulds to use with a microwave kiln. I am finding real trouble. I understand that ceramic moulds are not recommended because they crack. Vermiculite moulds, like the hot pot ones are recommended, but the available range is small and here in the UK they are never in stock. I thought to try to make my own vermiculite moulds, but I can't find any advice on this, just a load of scary asbestos warnings. There seem to be no books available on microwave kilns. Would the method you demonstrate in this video be suitable for microwave kilns? Any information gratefully received.

Hi Kerry, I'm looking for the exact the same thing. What I found so far is as follows: carving of a vermiculite board (see kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnfXqWCGZ850Z6s ) and making a mold with the receipe "Fondu Cement / Vermiculite Mould-Mix" in this link: www.creativeglassshop.co.uk/page/29/casting-mouldmaking-instructions.html. In the past, vermiculite came from a place in the USA contaminated with asbestos, but not any more, since there are many places where vermiculite is cultivated (as far as I learned from Internet)

Hi there! Thanks for uploading this video! I've been working w/fused glass for about 4 years and just heard about "freeze and fuse." I'd like to use the technique to create some small pieces that I will then tack fuse to various plates, platters, etc. As I consider what types of molds to buy, are there certain depths I should avoid--or favor? If you use a mold with a deep[er] cavity [say, 3/4 inch or more] what precludes the form from simply melting downwards/outwards and losing its shape?

If I made frit or powdered glass would it be the same as what I'd buy n would I be able to freeze n fuse it I'm thinking that the water being frozen is what holds the glass together am I right

Can I use fine frit.. or does it have to be powdered frit?

That was my question too. I would love to know if this could work with a microwave kiln as well. - Heidi

Hi There I would say no but haven't tried as it takes a while to prepare the mixture, freeze and dry out. Also when the frozen shapes are "dried" they are VERY delicate. The movement of the microwave table may cause them to collapse. Firing temperature is also quite critical and in the microwave kiln it is difficult to regulate. You will probably over cook them. But you know what they say, do your own tests and see if it works. Please prove me wrong. Let me know how you get on Robert :0)

you can use deeper moulds, I have used to about 1 inch. I then layered different colours of powder one on top of another. I tried sections vertically but this didn't work that well. As the block "melts" the powder is pulled together which holds its shape. (if you touch it when dry, it will collapse). You will see from the firing cycle that it is a flash fuse, which does not hold the temp very high or for long. If you did a normal fuse it would melt downwards and loose its shape

What does "washing your glass powder" mean?????
@slightlysoulfulspatula9 жыл бұрын
+Cori Borjan Based on the context in which he says it, I imagine it means letting the powder settle and drain off the excess water a few times.

holy shit i think i just watched somebody create the carbon footprint of a saturn five rocket in his kiln to create some lovely tastefully fishy jewellery from some mold he found in a pound trash shop. viva la interfukkennet yay
