EZ Fuse - The Program Created for Glass Fusing and Slumping EZ Fuse is the amazing new computer program designed specifically for the warm glass artist. Whether you are a novice or an expert, EZ Fuse will assist you in selecting the ideal firing schedule for your fusing or slumping project. By simply answering a few easy questions (the type of project desired, i.e., drop ring, slumping, tack or full fuse, the C.O.E of your glass, the width or length of the piece, the thickness of the project and number of sheets of glass used) you will be given a step by step firing schedule that you can program into your kiln's controller. As teachers, the lament we hear most often is, "I just can't seem to figure out how to program my kiln", followed by "I just don't know what kind of firing schedule to use for my project". Needless to say, when we heard about EZ Fuse, we were ECSTATIC!! This VERY user friendly computer program help the novice learn HOW to use their kiln and when it comes to actually entering the data into your kiln's computer, EZ Fuse will guide you step by step, showing you exactly how to set the controller by telling what buttons to push! You can print-out the entire schedule or keep an organized record of your personal firings! No more scraps of paper with hastily scrawled firing schedules, no more wracking your brain to recall what program you used to achieve a specific result, no more frustration in trying to decipher those technical manuals on "How To Program Your Kiln" because now, EZ Fuse does ALL the work for you, while helping you to understand the process of fusing!
