firing schedule
Our schedule is divided into 3 parts. First we dry the mold by raising the temp from room to 300° (75°/hr) and hold for 3 hrs. Then we raise it to 1100° (100°/hr) and hold for 3 hrs. Next we cast the glass by raising to 1650° (550°/hr) and holding, in this case, for 3 hrs. Annealing and cooling is done br reducing the temp to 1050° (800°/hr) and holding for 6 hrs. Then reducing to 750° (15°/hr). Last it cools to room temp (50°/hr). Let it sit in the open kiln for a day.

No I don't make my own frit, although I did before it was commercially available. I use Bullseye. There are all kinds of 'binders'. I use gum arabic. Other artists use CMC which is a cellulose product. I didn't care for the white stuff it left in my finished glass but it was very tacky. I have heard of using wallpaper paste. Don't know about white glue.
