Crucible Kilns

Crucible Kiln Model 1315

This heavy duty kiln heats soft soda lime glass to a molten state. Make huge glass figurines, paperweights, blown vessels, stringers, marbles. Other equipment, like a glory hole, may also be needed. Make custom glass colors. Make your own custom sheet glass. (Roller, annealers, etc are required). Pull your own neon tubing.
Sidewalls are extra thick at 4-1/2". The extra heavy insulation and heavy 12 gauge elements are designed for the stress of very long heat soaks. The S-Type thermocouple with ceramic protection tube far outlasts the standard K-Type.
The 1315 kiln has a separate bottom section with a row of 2-1/2" high wall bricks, held in place with spring twist locks. Should the crucible crack during firing and leak glass onto the kiln bottom, merely replace the damaged bottom section.

The 1315 comes with a 2" thick ceramic fiber board insert that fits into a recess at the top of the walls. Cut a hole in the center of the fiber board to match the top of the crucible. Or cut two holes if you use two crucibles. The fiber board holds heat inside the kiln when the lid is opened.
