> Subject: Fusing glass in a Micro?
>
> Hey All,
> Since I do pottery and hubby does stained glass, the recent thread
> about warm glass has got my creative juices flowing. I would like to do some
> decorative pots with fused glass "windows" in them.
> So, during my weekly thrift store scrounging, I found an item (for 50
> cents) called the "Micro-Kiln EZ-5" (no instructions in box). It's a small
> canister made out of some sort of lightweight refractory material (like kiln
> brick), about 3 in. high and 4 in. across. Checked all the search engines
> and found only one reference: says that it fuses glass in your microwave in 1
> to 5 minutes. Cost $49. No info on annealing or other details but a warning
> on the mini kiln to read all directions before use. The manufacturer is a
> Ceramic engineering company in Japan. Found them but I don't speak Japanese!
> Any one heard of this?
