Fusing joins multiple pieces of glass together at temperatures between 1300°F–1500°F to create flat panels or decorative elements. Slumping (also called draping) reshapes fused glass over or into molds at lower temperatures around 1200°F–1350°F to create bowls, plates, and curved forms. The HS-12G's 1700°F maximum temperature provides plenty of range for full fusing, tack fusing, and slumping, plus controlled annealing to properly cool your glass work.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eDo I need an electrician to install this kiln?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eNo electrician needed for the HS-12G. It operates on standard 120V household power and plugs into a regular 15-amp outlet with a standard three-prong plug. You should use a dedicated 15-amp circuit (meaning no other appliances sharing that breaker) to ensure reliable operation. Avoid using extension cords. This makes the HS-12G one of the most convenient glass kilns for home studios, classrooms, or spaces without 240V wiring.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eWhat size glass projects can I fire in the HS-12G?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eThe 12″ × 12″ floor provides 144 square inches of working space, ideal for jewelry components, small plates up to 10″ diameter, decorative tiles, suncatchers, and cabinet glass panels. The 6″ height accommodates stacking multiple layers for casting projects or tall slumping molds. This capacity suits beginning glass artists, jewelry makers, and hobbyists working on smaller production runs or one-of-a-kind pieces. For larger platters or architectural panels, you would need to step up to the HS-18G or HS-23G models.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eWhat does the solid state relay controller do?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eThe solid state relay (SSR) provides more precise temperature control compared to basic infinite switches found on entry-level kilns. The SSR rapidly pulses power to the heating elements to maintain steady temperatures critical for proper glass annealing and preventing thermal shock. This precision matters most during the annealing hold and controlled cooling phases where temperature consistency prevents cracking. The digital controller displays the current temperature and allows you to set target temperatures for each stage of your firing.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eIs my warranty valid if I buy from an online retailer?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eHot Shot honors warranties only when purchased through authorized dealers like Peach State Pottery.
