1. Using a larger size microwave oven. Microwave should be at least 1000 watts for best results. 使用大点的微波炉。微波炉的功率最好为1000瓦
2. Clean ready glass and kiln tray 擦拭玻璃片和清洁窑炉托盘
3. Kiln paper cut larger than glass pieces, put it on top of the kiln tray. 衬纸比玻璃片大一些,放在窑炉托盘上。
4. Place the pieces of glass onto the kiln paper. Two layers of glass works well. 玻璃片放在衬纸上,两层玻璃叠放效果比较好。
5. Place kiln tray into the microwave oven. Cover the kiln lid and set the microwave temperature as “HIGH”, heating around 6-8 minutes. 叠放好的衬纸和玻璃放在微波炉里,盖上窑炉盖子,用“高火”6-8分钟。
6. The hole in the top glows orange when the kiln is at fusing temperatures. 当窑炉到达熔化温度时,窑炉上面的孔变成橘红色。
7. Carefully remove the kiln wearing insulated gloves to kiln shelf for cooling about 30 minutes when firing is complete. 当熔化完成时,使用隔热手套将窑炉小心地从微波炉里取出,放置在窑炉架上,自然冷却30分钟
8. It may take a few attempts to figure out the ideal firing times, usually between 6 to 16 minutes. 尝试几次计算出玻璃熔化的最理想效果,一般情况要6-16分钟。
