Two Firings

The key is to hold it for long time at the peak temperature and periodically check on it by either peaking in the kiln window or CAREFULLY opening the kiln at peak temperatures ( wear heat protection). Learn how to manually skip step on your controller and skip to the cooling phase when you like how it looks.

Basic Tak:
🔧 Tack Fuse Firing Schedule (System 96 – Thick/Chunky Glass)
For a piece approx. 8" x 6", 6mm–1” thick, made with frit and chunks.
🔥 Firing Steps:
• Ramp 1: 300°F/hr → 1000°F — Hold 20 min
• Ramp 2: 100°F/hr → 1225°F — Hold 30 min (bubble squeeze)
• Ramp 3: 300°F/hr → 1330°F — Hold 10 min (tack fuse peak)
• Ramp 4: FULL → 960°F — Hold 2.5 hours (annealing soak)
• Ramp 5: 50°F/hr → 700°F — No hold
• Ramp 6: 100°F/hr → Room temp (~70°F)
🕒 Total Time: Approx. 20–21 hours
✅ Safe for thick frit and chunk layers
✅ Preserves texture while ensuring full annealing

Conservative Drape Fuse Long Hold ( Skip Step)
🔥 Firing Steps:
• Ramp 1: 250°F/hr → 1000°F — Hold 20 min
• Ramp 2: 100°F/hr → 1200°F — Hold 10 min (heat soak for even temp)
• Ramp 3: 50°F/hr → 1225-1250 — Hold 1 hr ( Skip step manually when piece is ready)
• Ramp 4: FULL → 960°F — Hold 2 hours (annealing soak)
• Ramp 5: 50°F/hr → 700°F — No hold
• Ramp 6: 100°F/hr → Room temp (~70°F)
