by warming for at least 1 hour using a dryer. Print-out has been completely dried ca

Prepare firing for dried sample using cube and carbon which are optional items.

Build up about 3cm of carbon on the cube and put the sample on it and bury the
sample entirely by pouring carbon on the sample as much as possible and then
close the cover.

the heat enough. If the heat cools down to room temperature, finish work by taking
the sample out of the cube and brushing the sample using stainless steel brush.
NOTE :
Cube and carbon are recyclable (only the part which has not changed into white ash by oxidation).
TIP :
Be careful of scald when use toast oven or kiln and especially, in case the output has been fired in
kiln, cool the output enough by opening the door at least an hour before take the printed object
out of the kiln.
When you print in the tile after dry in toast oven, the output will not be separated easily unless you
cool it enough so cool it for at least 30 minutes before you separate the output and then put it on
wire mesh and put in the kiln.
