Fuseworks Microwave kiln?

[lisamarie]

hi not sure if i'm posting this in the right place.
i have been looking at the fuseworks microwave kiln start up kit, can anybody tell me if this is any good?
i like the idea of making my own glass pendants at home to make my jewellery even more unique.
thank you in advance

Hey,

I've not tried these myself but i did take a friend to Temsford a few weeks ago and they were selling Paragon Microwave kilns. I had a bit of a chat with them about the kilns and they said that the paragon ones, tho more expensive were far better than the cheaper ones you can get. Whether that was just them putting on the hard sell i don't know, but if i were to buy one (if i had a microwave and dint have my own kiln) i'd go for the paragon one. They are such a big name in kilns, and tempsord are very helpfull and also quite a big name in glass, you'd have some comeback if they didn't work, or you start blowing kilns up!

Hope this helps.

When i started out i was considering buying one of these but it was the limited space inside the microwave kiln which put me off.

Keep an eye on ebay if u are looking to pick up a cheap or used one and good luck with it x

thanks for your reply, i'm still undecided! lol i'm experimenting with polymer clay at the moment and i think might wait a bit longer to get the kiln x
