</p>
<p>Paragon’s
newest kiln is the affordable, exciting MagicFuse. It fires inside a
microwave oven to glass fusing temperatures. This is the perfect way to
introduce yourself and your loved ones to the amazing world of glass
fused jewelry. Create stunning jewelry that your family and friends
will treasure. Experiment with the huge selection of stained glass
colors available from your local glass supplier. </p>
<p><b>Instant gratification</b> </p>
<p>Place the kiln inside a microwave oven and turn on the power. The
kiln
will reach 1500°F (815°C) in about 5 - 8 minutes. (Firing time depends
on the wattage and brand of the microwave oven.) </p>
<p><b>Beautiful colors</b> </p>
<p>Create beautiful glass fused pendants and earrings. Discover how the
heat magically transforms glistening dichroic glass and the vast palate
of stained glass colors that are available from your supplier. Enjoy
hours of creative entertainment with your whole family. </p>
<p>Within an hour after you begin fusing, the glass will be cool to the
touch. Experiment with new designs in the MagicFuse before filling your
larger kiln with production loads. </p>
<p><b>Learning to fuse glass</b> </p>
<p>Firing the MagicFuse requires skill. Because the kiln fires so
rapidly,
glass pieces should be limited in size to 2 layers of 1 ½” x 1 ½” or
smaller. Larger sizes or additional layers of glass must be pre-heated
for 5 minutes at a 50% power setting on the microwave. Otherwise the
glass will break. </p>
<p>The glass must be free of glue, grease, and fingerprints. The rapid
firing of these contaminants can cause the glass to break. </p>
<p>Firing times may vary even within the same microwave oven. For this
reason, visually check the glass a minute or two before it is done.
Then add more time and, if necessary, check it again. Remove the kiln
when the glass has fused just the way you had envisioned. </p>
<p>Includes 6 - ½” ceramic posts, glass separator, and a 15-page 5 1/2”
x
8 1/2” instruction manual. Place the kiln on 3 posts inside the
microwave and on the other 3 posts for cooling. (Note: The MagicFuse
requires a microwave oven, which is not included.) </p>
