Love Charm Glass Jewelry Tools Professional Microwave Kiln

Good product if one knows what it is. It's a instant un-controlled time sensitive kiln and not a profiled PID controlled professional kiln. No water/moisture.. it' works good.

I had a Fuseworks brand microkiln first and wanted to buy another to use while the Fuseworks one cooled. I've been using them both "to death" and I'm pretty happy, to be honest. This one is the same size as my "original" one and works ALMOST as well. I think pieces take just slightly longer in here but it's not bad. And it's much less expensive than a full-priced Fuseworks. I've even been able to cinter a small silver Art Clay piece in it!!

I'm pretty pleased with this kiln so far. It's performed better than my other microwave kiln and I'm able to get some pretty neat pieces fired in it. Keep in mind this package only contains the kiln. For beginners you'll need kiln paper and safety gloves before operation or you'll have a mess on your hands. Also, gradually bring the kiln up to temperature by using the microwave wave settings (like 50% power for a minute or two, then 70% for a minute etc) at least until you know what the glass and the kiln will do will lead to greater success. So far I've been 90% successful with my pieces and the 10% off have been due more to user error (me!) and the kiln itself.

I have a larger kiln like this by a different brand, works BEAUTIFULLY!❤️ I order this one to fire smaller work. Followed instructions to a “T” and took the proper precautions. I put my work in, entered a short amount of time on the microwave (45 seconds to a minute on low power/defrost), and about 30 seconds in, I hear a 💥BOOM💥! My microwave is okay, but the project I put in was not. The interior lining broke from the top of the kiln, the ceramic insulation material (the white, chalky matter of the kiln) started to crack and grow as time has gone on, and the base part of the kiln has nearly disintegrated. Very Cheap Very Small Complete Trash Overall, USELESS is the word I would use to describe this kiln.

I was concerned about whether or not I could use my stained glass scraps and a 600W microwave. My first attempt worked. I am not sure about the time needed. 6 minutes were not enough so I gave it another 6 and it fused. I had to leave before it was finished so less time might work.
