- I had so much fun with the short video I did for my daughter referencing what I had accomplished for her craft dispaly I decided to do another one based on a question asked by a friend. Sometimes it is easier to do a viedo and explain things than to send photos with text. What do you think?

Oh good we get to eavesdrop again lol
Yep!
Do you know of a really smooth fire kiln paper? Most of my fused glass is cracking, have any suggestions?
Microwave Turntable Coupler Support Glass Tray Drive Coupling Replacement. Have you ever had one of these melt doing glass fusion? I have to replace mine in less than a month. Think they make them which will not melt?
I cannot find the video I had asked you about cookie cutter used in glass fusion, Do you have any suggestions, mine are terrible so far.
I'm sorry Ray, but I do not understand the question. Please re state it and I will try to answer.
@@CaptMike I have seen videos of people using the small cookie cutters as molds for microwave glass fusing. I have tried it, but the result as not too good, the glass results are rough. I thought you may have a suggestion about how better to use them. Do you know if they make a smooth kiln paper?
@@raysanders332 I use Bulleye and don't know if there is a smoother one. I have not tried the cookie cutter trick, but it is a good idea if the results work out,. I woould try to fire first in a regular kiln where one can control the temps nd see if it is possible then from there try to work it out in a microwave kiln.
@@CaptMike I am going to try and line the inside of the cookie cutters with kiln wash and bake it on and see if that works. If that does not work just let it dry the try it.
Any ideas about the cracking?
I'm pretty sure it has to do with uncontrolled heating and cooling.
Kaolin Clay have you ever used this as a kiln wash?
Ray, I have not. Might work though.
@@CaptMike It does not work unless i have to bake it onto the kiln base.
@@raysanders332 Does it get hard, as in fired bisque or does the kpalin stay powdery?
@@CaptMike I may try to bake it on, but it just cracked and fell off the kiln base.
@@raysanders332 Keep me up to date on your tests.
How long does it take for microwave fused glass to cool?
Usually 30 to 45 minutes. Never really timed it.
@@CaptMike Thanks, I have just started and do not like the results so far. I guess practice, practice, practice. Any secret to using the cookie cutters in microwave glass fusion?
@@raysanders332 I have used cookie cutters for cutting out things in clay, but cannot remember how I did/would use one for glass fusing.
@@CaptMike You line the inside of the cookie cutter with the fire paper then pile glass into it and fuse it. The problem I am having is cracking during or afterward and the pieces are rough around the edges.
Do you know where I can buy some kiln cookies?
I don't know what kiln cookies are. Please give more info and I will try to help.
@@CaptMike Maybe they are called kiln biscuits. Sorry.
@@CaptMike "How to Make Kiln Cookies the Easy Way" No I was right, it is cookies. That is a video which shows how to make them.
@@raysanders332 I'll check it out.
Ray, "Kiln Cookies"are simply round bisque clay "cookies" of various sizes. I make them all the time. Just roll out some clay, preferably mid to high fire about 3/8 inches thick, cut them to size, square or round. Fire them and coat them with kiln wash. Easy peasy. They will fit (depending on the size) under whatever you glaze and keep the glaze from sticking to the kiln shelf. Hope this helps.
