Hi, I dont use a hobby fuser myself but a kiln is a kiln is a kiln. Just follow the instructions that came with the pmc for firing temps and it will be fine. If you are firing the pmc onto glass set the ramp rate for the glass, if its just pmc you can fire it as quick as you like.
The only question might be, how economical is it to fire the kiln for one or two bits of pmc but thats up to you.

One other point if you are firing pmc copper I would stand the work on a bit of ceramic fibre paper as it can leave a stain on your kiln shelf and be careful opening the kiln when you take the work out to quensh.
