Fuseworks Craft Kiln

I got this for my girlfriend for her birthday and it’s been wonderful! She’s used it a lot and have had no issues. It’s a great product and worth every penny.

The only things I can successfully make in this kiln is glass beads. Every project over 2 1/2 “ shatters. I feel the kiln is defective and heats too fast. I attempted to return the item. Amazon approved the return then I received an email from the seller:Message from seller ShopRainbowArtGlass:Hi _______,Very sorry to hear about the issues you're experiencing with the kiln. Please be aware that you are attempting to return a completely used and functional kiln. Due to this, you most likely will not be eligible for a refund upon return of the item.

Now I’m stuck with a kiln that shatters every project over 2 1/2” and has cracked a mold. Very disappointed.

We like it. Used for making fused glass jewelry

I ordered this kiln and the timer did not work. I emailed diamond craft and they sent me another kiln right away. The key is to email them because they will not answer the phone or call you back! Email they answer right away.This kiln is wonderful for the person just looking to do small glass fusing. So far I’ve made earrings. The key is to heat the glass slowly. This kiln heats up very fast so you have to heat for 2 min then wait a min before going to the next 2 min. If you heat the kiln 2 min at a time nothing breaks! You need infrared glasses because you will be looking in the kiln to check the glass often… as long as you heat slowly and stop between 12 -15 min you’ll get good results. Keep track of cooking time. When it’s done keep the lid down and wait at least 2 hours to cool. Wear gloves and mask when handling kiln paper and wash your glass and hands! I plan on getting a heat gun that you can shoot into the kiln for temperature.

I am very happy with this kiln. I could not afford a “real” kiln so I purchased this one. The Fuseworks craft kiln does need slow heating, like a MK, but the results I’ve gotten have been very consistent thus far. Disclaimer: I have not tried more than 2 layers of glass.

Could not make anything larger than small pendants, it all cracked or broke because it didn’t have a annealing process. I sold it after 3 months

This is useful for fusing glass jewelry, but other than that it is a waste of money. Despite having a larger kiln shelf than microwave kilns, you will be disappointed if you try to create any thing like a coaster. The glass always breaks no matter how many tries have given it. I should have read the reviews before I bought it,

I have years of experience with glass fusing and programmable kiln use. This kiln isn’t programmable obviously, which is fine, but does state you can make fused glass projects up to 6” in diameter. The first 2 pieces I have fired have popped in the kiln. These were made and fired according to all specs and compatibility guidelines. I am doing one more trial before I request a return.
