Firing Schedules
Below you will find some basic (and conservative) schedules for common fused glass firings. You will need Adobe Acrobat to view these files.
It is very important that you read the assumptions for each schedule.
We also recommend that you take advantage of the segment-by-segment notes that explain each step and suggest when you may want to change the rates and temperatures to meet your specific circumstances.

Now in my 2nd year of fusing. First time I have heard of 'soft fuse'. There are 30 of us in this studio (all seniors) & we only ever Full, Partial(Tack) or slump. Need to try it but on what?
