PRODUCT REVIEW A MICROWAVE KILN

[@huntingrocks]

Microwave kilns are AWSOME , I made one, one time for doing science stuff, its amazing how much heat a microwave can make, I used mine for melting rocks.

[@Angelacreatesart]

You made one? I been looking into doing it for a video

[@992000keetah]

Brilliant and the fact you have put things you need in the description is super helpful. I wouldn't have even thought about the heart resistant mat

[@Angelacreatesart]

thank you

[@amuckdesign]

I’d never heard of a microwave kiln before, very fun!!

[@Angelacreatesart]

Oh goodness you would be a natural at it!

[@amuckdesign]

@@Angelacreatesart I’m absolutely loving the pieces that you’ve made so far!!!

[@Angelacreatesart]

@@amuckdesignwow what a compliment! Thank you so much!

[@lynnpaszkiewicz4976]

Thanks so much for sharing your tutorials and tips!! I haven’t worked with clay or glass since high school because it’s just been inaccessible for me. But this changes things! I’m super inspired seeing the cute things you made!

[@Angelacreatesart]

that’s so exciting!

[@Genovefa.t]

Thanks you very much, I didn't know it was possible to bake clay in a microwave. That's great!

[@Angelacreatesart]

Yes the firing process gets super hot in the mwk it actually is so hot it burning orange through that hole

[@katebartholomew2711]

Angela you are so creative! I’m inspired 🎉

[@Angelacreatesart]

Awe thank you! That's what I have always aimed to do ,inspire others

[@TheWildPaw]

Thanks for this it’s very interesting and your items are super cute!

[@Angelacreatesart]

Glad you like them!

[@carolyncurran8960]

Thank you! One question...am I wrong, or do a lot of other people in the videos just use high heat to begin with? I. don't recall seeing another video using slow, mediium and high heat. Was I just not paying attention or did the others have good luck with no cracks? Keep on having fun making those fun little guys! I can hardly wait.

[@Angelacreatesart]

yes I since have learned from doing this for awhile that all the increments is not needed and I will be doing a video on that shortly to share what I do know now,it’s definitely a learning process lol

[@Angelacreatesart]

Actually most are not needed

[@ninaeve9580]

What types of clay and glazed would you suggest using? Thanks for the video!

[@Angelacreatesart]

I have links in the description of video for items I used ,hope you have fun!

[@MakeWithMimi]

This was awesome and so helpful. I’m trying to decide if I want to try a microwave kiln. Can you tell me if you hollowed out your figurines?

[@Angelacreatesart]

you can hollow out or make it solid

[@okay_goat]

So are you doing an underglaze and then clear glaze on top for the final pieces?

[@Angelacreatesart]

no I use Mayco stroke n coat

[@BeataHigham]

I wish I watched your video before I used my microwave kiln. I've just melted the middle bit that turns the turntable. I will have to buy a new microwave now and use broken terracotta to place my kiln on.

[@Angelacreatesart]

look on fb market place before buying a new one you can find deals in your area

[@AmyGindahouse4439]

Hi I really want to try this out! I was just wondering what kind of clay did you use for this?

[@Angelacreatesart]

white earthenware ,I have a link in the description of this video to purchase some.

[@whatifitnt]

This guy raised his kiln by modifying and using two stacked together... 'Capt Mike' channel "Double Your Pleasure, Double Your Fun..Double Your Microwave Kiln?"

[@Angelacreatesart]

oh yes! I have seen plenty of capt mikes channel hes great!

[@danielariveraruiz]

Hello! What temp does the kiln reach?

[@Angelacreatesart]

Microwave kilns can reach temperatures of up to 1650°F, depending on the size of the kiln, the microwave's wattage, and what's being fired.

[@Angelacreatesart]

Hello any questions is welcome I will do my best to answer them

[@992000keetah]

Have you ever used gold lustre/glaze in the microwave kiln? I can't seem to find a definitive answer for what temperature they get to. So I'm wondering if the gold will work

[@Angelacreatesart]

@@992000keetahI haven’t but am wanting to as well I will be soon

[@megandewing3186]

I love what you created, but I have a question about the metal on a few of your pieces. How can you microwave the metal with your pieces? Doesn't metal cause sparks/fire in a microwave?

[@Angelacreatesart]

I have a link in the video for heat resistant wire,the metal jumps you see in this video was added after I finished firing the pieces and I forgot to film that part

[@scandalousjen]

What kind of microwave are you using? I want to do this so badly! I'm slowly collecting all of the items needed.

[@Angelacreatesart]

I am using a 900-1000 watt microwave also look on Facebook market place I got mine on there for $20

[@MollyL-c6s]

What is the measurement of your kiln?

[@Angelacreatesart]

it’s the large kiln,there is only a small and large so if the listing says medium it’s not true it’s a large. I have a link in this video with the exact kiln I got

[@DunoonVanRijn-dx1hr]

I won't be using it again. It is crumbling all my clay pieces. No orange light inside

[@Angelacreatesart]

Sounds like your clay is not dry enough and it’s exploding
