Bead Door

Submitted by rpastore on Thu, 07/19/2012 - 02:41.

I ordered a Paragon Fusion 16 about 2 weeks ago for slumping and fusing.  I added a bead door fo the order and am having second thoughts after I saw on the Paragon web site that the kiln will fire slower with a bead window.  I contacted Paragon and they verified this and also indicated that there could be a cold spot in the kiln from the bead door that could affect the piece.  I have never done flameworking but thought it would be something that I might do in the future so I ordered the bead door. At this point I am somewhat sorry and may try to have it removed from the order.  I was wondering what experiences anyone had with this.  Any advice would be appreciated.

If you cannot change the order, you can probably put a brick insert where the window is to minimize the heat loss.
