Fused Glass Decal Firing and Fusing Instructions

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!

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!

In a Glass Fusing World that Doesn't, AAEGlass.com Does


AAEGlass.com has completed the studio move to Florida and will be opening for business on Monday January 11th. The Butterfly Landing glass fusing decal, shown above, is one of a kind and has not been made available...Until now. You can be the first to have it. We have also restocked several glass fusing decals, such as the original Tree of Life.

Our move was eventful, but we are happy to be settled. Thanks to everyone for the well wishes, it is great to know so many people are behind us. We are itching to get back to work and see what the future holds. Email us at info@aaeglass.com if you have any questions.
