BULLSEYE FULL FUSE FIRING SCHEDULES

THESE ARE SUGGESTED STARTING POINTS. ALL KILNS ARE DIFFERENT. EXPERIMENT! THIS SCHEDULE ASSUMES A 3mm THICKNESS OF GLASS (1 LAYER) WITH PERHAPS SOME FRIT ON TOP
SEG.	RAMP deg. F./hr	TEMP deg. F.	HOLD minutes	EXPLANATION
1	400	850	10	Slow heat to avoid thermal shocking of the glass.
2	600	1100	00	Standard ramp rate
2	100	1250	30	Very slow ramp rate to "squeeze" the bubbles from the glass and anneal soak.
4	AFAP	1500	5	As Fast As Possible to full fuse temperature
5	AFAP	960	60	As Fast As Possible to Bullseye annealing temperature with annealing hold.
6	300	100	00	Slow cool to reduce thermal shocking.
NOTE: If you add frit on top, this will give a smooth color finish. If you want a more textured look, change segment 4 temp. to 1380 deg. F.

THIS SCHEDULE ASSUMES 6-9mm THICKNESS OF GLASS (2 -3 LAYERS)
SEG.	RAMP deg. F./hr	TEMP. deg. F.	HOLD minutes	EXPLANATION
1	300	850	15	Slow heat to avoid thermal shocking of the glass.
2	500	1100	00	Slightly less than standard rate.
3	100	1250	30	Very slow ramp rate to "squeeze" the bubbles from the glass and anneal soak.
4	AFAP	1500	10	As Fast As Possible to full fuse temperature. Five minutes longer hold.
5	AFAP	960	120	As Fast As Possible to Bullseye annealing temperature with annealing hold.
6	100	700	00	Very slow rate because of thickness of glass until below annealing range.
7	300	100	00	Slow cool to reduce thermal shocking.

BULLSEYE SLUMPING SCHEDULES

THIS SCHEDULE ASSUMES 6-9mm THICKNESS OF GLASS (2 -3 LAYERS)
SEG.	RAMP deg. F./hr	TEMP. deg. F.	HOLD minutes	EXPLANATION
1	200	900	15	Slow heat to avoid thermal shocking of the glass.
2	100	1175	2.5 hrs	Allow full slumping. If watching, can stop when satisfied.
3	AFAP	960	40	Anneal time to allow glass to stabilize.
4	100	800	00	Very slow rate as glass returns to solid state.
5	200	700	30	Slow cool to reduce thermal shocking.
6	400	100	00	Final cooling. Don't open kiln above 100 degrees.
