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 775°C,
- Hold for five minutes,
- Fast ramp down to 565°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. This superb reference suggests that 565°C is a good tempering temperature for float glass, and 775°C is a good fusing temperature.
