Temperature Conversion

 

 

 

To Convert °F to °C:   (°F - 32) x 0.56 = °C

 

To Convert °C to °F:   (°C x 1.8) + 32 = °F

Annealing Temperature For Specific Glass

 

                                       

                                                                Moretti / Effetre    = 968 °F

                                                                (C.O.E. = 104)

 

                                                                Bullseye Glass      = 990 °F (transparent)

                                                                (C.O.E. = 90)           = 935 °F (opals)

= 882 °F (gold-pink transparent)

 

                                                                Pyrex Glass            = 1050 °F

                                                                (C.O.E. = 32)

 

 

 

 

Bead Annealing

Anneal for 30 minutes for each ½” thickness.

                                                               

Example: ¼” bead thickness = 15 min. anneal time

  ½” bead thickness = 30 min. anneal time

  1" bead thickness     = 1 hour anneal time

… and so forth

 

Please note: the measurement above is thickness, NOT length.

 

Note:      Fused & slumped glass should be annealed for 30 minutes for each ½” thickness up to 1”, then at least 1 hour for each add’l  ½” thickness over 1” thickness. Example: A fused paperweight that is 2” thick should be annealed for 3 hours. Remember, the annealing time is for thickness and not length.

 

If you have difficulty determining the annealing time, you can always play it safe and anneal for longer time periods. You CANNOT over-anneal.
