The Burnout Process



01/09/10 - Burnout Process - This is a process in glass fusing where certain types of materials are pre-fired to get rid of any unwanted substance. This undesired material is generally an organic binder. It needs to be fired out of the material before it can be used for any fusing purposes. In some cases the material can be burned out during the fusing process. This might be for example when you are using thick fiber paper to hold a space open in the glass.
