Tack fuse help

[Flowers]

Please does anyone has a fusing schedule to lightly tack fuse two pieces of glass together for a Hobbyfuser 3 kiln using float glass?  I put a piece in the kiln on a regular tack fuse but I need to add more to it and I don't want to have to put it in for a 24 hour fusing again is it possible to put the glass in the kiln on a sorter fusing schedule?

Hello there,

I haven't worked with float glass, but here is an article that may help: http://glasswithapast.com/knowledgebase/stacking-and-tack-fusing-float-glass/

Also, you find a LOT of useful info on this site (don't only look for float glass, sometimes they specify how much cooler/hotter you have to go for different glasses in the various tutorials:

Most of the time that a fusing cycle takes is a controlled heat up and a controlled cool down (to avoid thermal shock and to anneal the glass properly), so a second firing, whether it is to make it a softer fuse, or to add to the design, can not go any quicker, other than you might be able to skip a bubble fuse. 

And actually, if you're adding to the piece, and making any parts thicker, you will need a longer anneal anyway.
