Angie....a little more info is needed. Are you wanting a full fuse or tack fuse (leaving some texture to the frit)?

Stupid question - is tack fusing just enough to make it stick and full fusing when it's melted flat? Sorry, I know nothing about fusing at all :D

Angie..if you want a full fuse with the frit....then fire at the same temp that you use for fusing other work. If you want a tack fuse...back off the top temperature by about 50C
I full fuse Bullseye around 800C and tack fuse around 750C
Temps need to be adjusted for your own kiln.
