How do you fuse two pieces of glass?
First cut your 2 pieces of glass & clean them well (finger prints can leave ugly marks on fired glass). Lay your bottom piece down on your kiln shelf (Hold the edges of your glass to reduce fingerprints.) Then lay your top piece on it. Next cut designs out of thin glass, &/or frit, stringers, confetti etc. & lay them on top of your glass.
How to avoid fusing glass stuck to mold?
If you did not use thin fire and not enough kiln wash on the mold, this may take more than one try. The key is to not let the kiln get below 1,000 degrees and not much higher than 1,250 to 1,300 as you do not want the glass to start to move and perhaps make matters worse. Once the two are separated.
What should the temperature be to fuse glass?
You can heat your kiln at 900 per hour to 1,000 for top fired kilns, for side fired kilns slow the heating to 600 per hour. Then fire as fast as your kiln can go up to 1450 . It is important to get past the 1300 -1400 range This is where glass will devitrify* (ugly white stuff on the surface of the glass).

Why are glass coatings not put together for fusing?
A: Repelling glass will occur with dichroic and iridized coatings. The coatings can’t be placed together for fusing purposes, because they repel each other. The only way to avoid this is to encase the coated glass with a non-coated glass , such as clear. This will cause the coated glass to be encased and sealed.
