Contour Fuse firing schedule
This worked nicely for a 6mm 2 layers of clear glass with premade fused flowers on top along with stringers and chunky mixed color frit along with fine grit. The schedule I used is as follows:
300 dph...............................................1150 degrees................................hold 20 mins
Full......................................................1425 degrees................................hold 12 mins
Full........................................................900 degrees................................hold 1 hour
150 dph.................................................800 degrees.................................hold 2 mins
Off
Three of the four corners fused fully. One of the corns appears uneven, like the top layer was a little short of the bottom and it did not quite meet it. But not bad all in all. I had originally intended to slump it but now I think it would be better to keep it as a tile.
Contour is between tack fusing and full fusing, a nice mixture not a precisely defined, bumpy surface but not flat and loosing all its surface texture.
