The window

The Plan

My initial plan for the window is:

  • Cut a few circles out of some float glass,
  • Clean them thoroughly with IPA and HCL,
  • Build a stack of them in the kiln of the desired thickness,
  • Fire:
    • Slow ramp to 675°C,
    • Hold for five minutes,
    • Fast ramp down to 560°C,
    • Hold for 10 min,
    • Slow ramp down to room temperature.
  • Polish,
  • Harden in a 400°C bath of potassium nitrate.

I had good success tempering bottle glass with a 560°C soak in the glass sphere project.
