I was asked to make 500 keychains as mini prizes for a triathalon- I will need to use decals to put their logo on them- I've never used decals on glass before, but I see that you can custom order them from Wale Apparatus- Anyone have any great tips or experience with the fire on decals?

Re: Decal Question
Get ceramoic decals instead of glass. They should fire in between 1380 and 1510 F. Get a squeegee to adhere them. Test and go for it.kelly alge wrote:I was asked to make 500 keychains as mini prizes for a triathalon- I will need to use decals to put their logo on them- I've never used decals on glass before, but I see that you can custom order them from Wale Apparatus- Anyone have any great tips or experience with the fire on decals?

I bought lots of ceramic decals on eBay and made Christmas ornaments by simply fusing them on a single thickness of Spectrum 96 white. I cut out circles and ovals of various sizes (depending on the decal), soaked the decals in the (basement) bathroom sink and slipped them onto the glass. Make sure they're wrinkle-free and let them dry overnight.
I have fused them both in my Quickfire and in my ceramic kiln with no problems. (Drilled holes and hung them with fishing line.)
For keychains I suppose a double thickness of glass would be preferable.
