I know in the video you say you full fuse for 10 minutes but the squares/circles don't look full fused but more tacked or contour fused - do you have any idea what temp the kiln reaches in the 10 minutes on?
You’re right it is slightly less than a full fuse, which that kiln reaches at 12 minutes. I found the full fuse was actually too hot. When they are later flattened some cracked. After the 10 minute fuse they all flattened beautifully. I’m not sure of the temperature. That kiln takes a lot of guess and check to get good results so I only use it for a few things.
I have the Fuseworks craft kiln. It doesn’t have a temperature control. it’s either on or off, so you control the level with the amount of time it’s on. It’s great for frit balls and cabochons, and fires very quickly, so I kept it when I upgraded to the Caldera. It’s also surprisingly durable. I’ve had it for 3 years and fired it 71 times!
@@KathyFitz1113 I am on my third Fuseworks. The timers keep losing the ability to return to zero and ding. They replaced the first one free of charge. The second kiln wasn't level, and my glass spewed over the bottom of the kiln. That one is going to the dump. With the third one, I am treating it with more care and letting it cool for longer between batches. I love it, which is why I keep buying it.
@@dianacrick5089 Nice to know they have great customer service. The only problem I’ve had is the heating coil fell out of the channel it’s supposed to be in. Fortunately, I was able to fix it myself so I never contacted the company. I will definitely replace it when I need to. It’s a great kiln and absolutely perfect for flower blanks, dots and cabochons. :)

Thank you for explaining how you do the circles. I asked this question in your other assembly video. Beautiful work.
Thank you! Sorry I didn’t answer sooner…
VERY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what red did you use for the poppys im looking to do some.
@@zacpackman9186 Sorry for the delay…
I used Bullseye Red #124 for the solid red ones and also Bullseye transparent red #1122 for the two toned ones.

@@KathyFitz1113 Thank you, Kathy, I'll play with the temp and start with an initial tack before flatting and see what happens.
@@TS-nj2pl You’re welcome. I hope it works well for you.
Love your work. From Bespoke glass
@@Glass596 Thank you! 😊
