Tips for Firing Fused Glass Decal Pendants

AAE Glass

--Do you sell moon shaped fused glass decals?

I probably get an e-mail asking this twice a week! We do not sell the moons. We make them using a regular hole puncher! We take a part of a white (or yellow for a sun) decal and punch a hole in it! Voila! A moon or a setting sun! By the way, designs that have a moon or sun, using this trick, are some of our best sellers!

--Can you combine low and high fire fused glass decals?

YES YOU CAN! The possibilities are endless with this technique! Choose your high fire decal first and fire. Then choose your low fire decal and fire on a separate firing. NO DAMAGE will be done to the high fire decal when re-firing...oh yes...this just opened up a whole bunch of possibilities...you can even over lap them!

--Use an X-acto Knife to Overlap.
Use an X-acto or craft knife to cut away decals and create your own scene. Once you have blotted away your excess water, wait about 15 minutes and cut away parts of one decal and add another with ease. The above pendant was created using birds from one decal, a hole puncher to create the sun, a tree from one decal and then grass from another! YOU CAN OVERLAP THEM and the decals will fire smoothly!

--Trouble shooting and FAQ'S

The decals rubbed off, what happened? If your decals rub off or blow away like powder after firing, they have not been fired long enough! Check to see if you are firing high fire decals at low temp or are you holding for 8-10 min.?

Why did the decals blister or crack? You over fired or held your hold time to long.
There are "pinholes" in my decals after firing. You did not get all the air bubbles out of the decals before firing! Take a paper towel and make sure to squeeze any excess water off the decal when applying. Let dry for 24 hours before firing - very important!

Thanks to everyone for your continued support!

New Quantity Pricing Available on Original Decal Designs

AAEGlass.com

AAEGlass has added 12 packs, with special discounts for our original, low fire, fused glass decals. You can now save up to $8 on the tree of life fused glass decals without having to qualify for a wholesale account.

We at AAEGlass realize that times are tough and every dollar counts. We wanted to find a way to accommodate anyone who wants to purchase multiple decals but doesn't want to make the commitment of a wholesale account minimum order. We feel that new quantity pricing for select decals will help many artists.

AAEGlass is the original creator of ALL the designs that you see available in 12 packs. We realize that some of our designs have tried to be duplicated, which in a way is a compliment. What we want to let you know is that just because another company is offering our same image, it may not be the same quality decal. AAEGlass has worked for over a year with our printing department to create a special printing process that enables our fused glass decals to NOT lose color or image integrity when fired properly. The most important part of producing these decals is the printing process. We have developed a special printing process that to our knowledge has not been duplicated.

We have had some glass artists contact us recently asking why their decals are not firing correctly. We are always available to help. We asked what firing instructions they used and they shared them with us. They were not instructions that were provided by us. We then asked them when they bought the decals and they made us aware that they purchased them from a different company. We then sent them a few of our decals with our instructions and the fused glass decals came out black, clear and crisp.

AAEGlass does work with other authorized companies who distribute our products. We make sure that they distribute our decals just as we do, with our exact instructions. If you have any doubt of who or where you are buying your decals from, we encourage you to contact us and we will let you know if they are an authorized distributor of AAEGlass products.

Here are some advantages that AAEGlass always offers:

--NO minimum purchase amount.
--100% Guarantee.
--FREE shipping on qualified orders ($25 domestic and $50 international).

We thank you for your continued business and we look forward to your thoughts on our new fused glass decal images that will be released in the next few days.

April Dichroic Glass Pendant Contest Winner

AAEGlass

Congratulations to Mae O'Donnell from Cohasset, Massachusetts! Mae is our April contest winner. We love her use of dichroic glass in this background and our Mighty Tree of Life silhouette decal really makes this one pop! In her own words :

"This pendant was created using 5 layers of dichroic glass. I have really been working on shading and trying to get the colors to look as realistic as possible for backgrounds. Your decals are FABULOUS! I do not sell on the Internet but rather at art shows and local boutiques. My jewelry sales have literally tripled since using your decals. Thanks for making such a great product for us glass artists!"

Thanks Mae, we'll take the shameless plug. Mae has won a $100.00 gift certificate to AAEGlass and with 18 new silhouette images coming this month, we are sure she will have a blast using it! Thanks to everyone who submitted and have a great week!

New Dichroic Glass Jewelry Posted

AAEGlass

We wanted to share some ideas for using our fused glass decals with you today. We have added 75 new pendants to our store and have used several combinations of decals in many of the designs. This may give you some ideas for your own wearable art.

We have also introduced a new technique in our jewelry. We have hand etched several, one of a kind, Mandala pendants. This technique has taken us over a year to perfect, but it has been worth it. There is still so much more we can do with these designs and the possibilities are endless. Same goes for the fused glass decals.

We have some great new images and products to release in the coming weeks. We are very excited about this. We hope your art show season is a huge success and if we can help you in any way, please don't hesitate to ask.

Firing Instructions for High and Low Fire Decals

AAEGLASS.COM

Fused Glass Decal Firing Instructions

Application Instructions:

1. Clean the glass surface where the decal will go.
2. Remove any wax paper barrier, if any, from the decal surface.
3. If desired, cut decal to desired shape using xacto knife or scissors.
4. Soak the decal in a shallow pan of warm water until they easily slide off the paper. It is easier to apply decal directly from the paper to the glass piece. Leaving them in water too long will result in them floating off the base paper and it will be difficult to apply.
5. Use a paper towel to blot excess water and gently smooth out any wrinkles or air bubbles. If air bubbles are not gently rubbed out, a tiny hole will pop through the decal when fired.
6. Change water frequently after soaking several decals to remove impurities.
7. ALL MOISTURE MUST BE REMOVED PRIOR TO FIRING. OVERNIGHT DRYING IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
8. Decals go on your FINISHED, fire polished piece. DO NOT cap the decals with a top glass layer. Decal firing is the last step to your piece.
   

Firing Instructions:

Preheating is particularly important in decal work. Materials from the medium on the decal must be burned off gently. Good ventilation allow for a clean final product. Leave the kiln lid open 1-2 inches, plus any peepholes. Preheat slowly to 1000 degrees to prevent pinholes or blisters and then procede with normal ramping. Heat-soak the decals at top temperature for approximately 8-10 minutes. THE FIRING SCHEDULES PROVIDED ARE FOR A REFERENCE POINT ONLY! GET TO KNOW YOUR KILN! Need additional assistance? Email us at artisticaccentsetc@yahoo.com with any questions you may have. Remember, it is always better to under fire than over fire!

Low-fire schedule

250 DPH to 350 HOLD 20 minutes

500 DPH to 1000 HOLD 10 minutes

AFAP to 1034-1074 soak 8-10 minutes

High-fire schedule

250 DPH to 350 HOLD 20 minutes

500 DPH to 1000 HOLD 10 minutes

AFAP to 1280-1320 soak 8-10 minutes
