GL24A, Old Style

Glass Fusing    Glass Painting    Glass Slumping   


Paragon Old-Style GL-22AD Manual-Fire Glass Fusing Kiln

This model has been replaced by the Professional Series GL-24AD. Though the earlier model is no longer in production, you can still access the wiring diagram, replacement parts, and instruction manuals by scrolling down to the bottom of this page.

The GL-22A is 13 1/4” high inside with room to bend glass for curved windows or cabinet doors and to repair lamp shades. Make huge glass-fused platters. Crack the door to drag a rod across the softened glass or to emboss designs in the surface.

Paragon’s GL-series are made for years of rigorous firing, as artists all over America can attest. The insulating firebrick, wrapped in heavy-gauge steel, soak up heat for slow, even cooling.

The GL-series lid elements use a new element groove that eliminates element pins. The element coils are wider than the groove opening, so the elements stay in place without pins.

The spring-pressure latch and a ½" recess around the edge of the firebrick door seal the door tight. The door remains rock-steady on a heavy hinge shaft. Four hand lifts aid moving. The base is open in the back and slotted to dissipate heat.

Watch the red-hot glass through two tapered peepholes, drilled one above the other in the wall opposite the switch box. Peephole plugs are included.

Optional Kiln Stand

The heavy-duty GL-series stand raises your GL-18, GL-22 or GL-24 kiln to a convenient working height. Begin operating your new kiln without having to find a table strong enough to support over 300 pounds. The table is 147 pounds of rock solid construction.

ST-8: without casters—30 ¼” square x 28 ¼” high, 147 lb.

ST-8-1: with 2" steel casters—30 ¼" square x 30 ¾” high, 150 lb.

Furniture Kit for GL-22 Series

The glass must always be fired on a kiln shelf rather than directly on the kiln’s firebrick bottom.

1 - C-20 - 20” Square Shelf

4 - 1” wide Square Posts, ½” long

1 lb. Bag Glass Separator
