Anneling kiln for fusing?

Post by Bonnie Rubinstein »

Hi All,
I know someone who has a few annealing kilns for use by glass blowers. He wonders if they could also be used for fusing. I am not familiar with annealers.
Can they be also used for fusing?
Thanks!

It should as long as it will fire to the processing temps you need for your work. The Skutt ones I looked at had a top temp of 1700*, which is higher than you need for Bullseye glass.

Thank you. he said it does go to 1400.

I should probably check to see what his controller looks like.
