Hello, I am interested in trying glass fusing and want to know can I use an electric ceramic kiln for glass fusing. If so is there anything special I need to know.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Charmy - there's many. many posts in the archives on this. Click the search button above and enter "ceramic" and you should fine everything you need to know.

The short answer is "yes" you can use it but you will have to adjust your firing schedules to go slower than on a kiln with top elements.

Thanks Paul for taking the time to reply. I will do a search now. I have been addicted to stained glass for a few years now and I dare say when I start fusing this will be a new addiction for me.
Thank you again
