Hi all...have printer...have images...have applied to glass and allowed to dry...now temps & soak times...20 minutes seems a LONG time to soak at 1375 when I only ever soak for 8-10mins with enamels....your thoughts???

I haven't done a lot of experimenting with decals but my thoughts would be, "well it's only about 10 minutes extra, and there's some plasticky-type stuff that has to burn off, so I guess it makes sense."

eeeppp...I don't want to wreck the kilnload, but I want to fire them up and see
(I know someone is ging to suggest a test firing...but I am impatient *sigh* not a good trait in a glass artist I know)

In my experience, extending a soak 12 minutes at 1375 would be insignificant in any negative way.
