WICAND Large Microwave Kiln for DIY Glass Fusing

The microwave kiln is a popular new high-temperature oven for melting or softening glass, especially in Europe and the United States. It can reach temperatures of up to 900°C (1650 °F) during operation. In just 5 minutes of heating, small pieces of glass can be softened and reshaped, making glass reprocessing quick and efficient. The microwave kiln is compact, safe, convenient, energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and high-efficiency, making it an excellent tool for creating DIY glass jewelry.

When using the microwave kiln, it is important to follow certain notices and instructions. The kiln must be padded with kiln paper to prevent the glass from sticking to the kiln tray, and the kiln paper must be replaced with a new sheet each time. Moisture-proof treatment is necessary for storage, as wetness can cause the kiln paper to blacken or turn yellow instead of white. Additionally, the hot microwave kiln should not be placed on the microwave oven, wood products, or plastic for cooling. It is also important not to open the microwave kiln when it is still hot, as introducing cold air into the high-heat environment can damage the kiln.

The instructions for using the microwave kiln include using a larger sized microwave oven with at least 1000 watts of power for the best results. The glass and kiln tray should be clean and ready, with the kiln paper cut larger than the glass pieces and placed on top of the kiln tray. The kiln tray is then placed into the microwave oven, and the kiln lid is covered, with the microwave temperature set to "HIGH" for heating for approximately 6-8 minutes. When the kiln reaches fusing temperatures, the hole in the top of the kiln will glow orange. Once the firing is complete, the kiln should be carefully removed with insulated gloves and placed on the kiln shelf for cooling for about 30 minutes.

The DIY kiln advantages are numerous, as it is small and compact, safe, environmentally friendly, energy-saving, and convenient. It allows users to fuse glass in their microwave ovens, creating beautiful pendants, earrings, and more in as little as 6 to 8 minutes. The outer size of the microwave kiln measures 7 2/3" in width and 4 1/3" in depth, with an interior fusing platform of 4 3/4".

In addition to the basic instructions, beginners can also receive further guidance on how to use the microwave kiln.
