Kelvustronal’s Field Guide to Fusing Glass

Field notes

The guide follows a workshop sequence from material selection and dry assembly through kiln firing, controlled cooling, and edge finishing. Its practical distinction between nominal COE values and compatibility within a tested manufacturing line is especially useful, as is the described stress check using crossed polarizing filters. The page also notes that a fully fused piece tends toward roughly six millimeters in thickness and warns that unknown glass remnants should be isolated rather than mixed into a larger work.
