Hello dear friends
I would be very grateful if someone would tell me the melting or fusing temperature of BE powder tekta 1101 and/ or clear transparent powder 1401.
Additionally, I would be grateful to know the melting / fusing temperature of fine frit 01 grind again, of tekta BE1101 and / or clear transparent 1401.
I need to know this in order to know how high. Do I need to get if I cap a piece with powder or fine frit.
Many thanks in advance

Re: Melting temperature
Depends on the kiln and the rate at which you fire. Somewhere between 1400 and 1500F. The larger particles will take a higher temperature.
We generally fire to a full fuse when we do this, haven't experimented with how low you can get away with.

Re: Melting temperature


I am also with Brad on this one. Test it is probably the best advice I could give. My schedules have to take in flat glass, frit of all sizes , and all sorts of things happening. I go up 50 degrees per hour to 1230 and hold 2 hours, and only up to 1480. So there is my schedule and temp for powder to #3 frit size in large pieces. Les
