Last week I went to Hobby Lobby to get a few things for a project. With my 40% coupon in hand I set out on my quest. Once there I certainly found the the things I was looking for and while checking out some resin molds the "Fuseworks Beginner's Fusing Microwave Kiln Kit" caught my eye. I've been wanting to try PMC and I thought "why not start with this" It is nice because it comes with a bunch of stuff to get you started with (glass not pmc) and once I buy PMC I can bake it in this little Microwave kiln. I went ahead and purchased it.
I was able to try it out the day after, The hardest thing about working with the glass is cutting it. I don't have allot of experience cutting glass but after a few attempts I was able to cut a few pieces I could use. The heating time really varies on the thickness and size. I took out the first piece to soon. I ended up putting it back in and it was done in about 5 minutes in all. You can peak in at it in the middle of firing it but once it's done don't lift the lid for about 2 to 3 hours later as you do not want it to crack by cooling down too fast. All in all using this kit was easy and a good experience.
