Hello
I am a mature student in glass fusion work. I have just purchased my
first kiln which is a Harrison & Mayer Ltd., Model Number L73K,
Capacity 0.86 cu ft with a maximum firing temperature of 1300. This is
a very old kiln (the only one I could afford) and does not have any type
of instructions. Is it possible to get hold of some instruction that
would be suitable for glass fusion work. Or is there anyone who can
help.
Many thanks
Susan Ayres

Susan,

Glass fuses at around 1500 F so I think your kiln will not be hot enough
for what you hope to do (unless that's 1300 C). You might want to check
out This is a forum and great source of information
for glass fusers. Good luck.
