ABR-BMGT-MCRUCIBLE
Description:
This mini crucible pot is a small refractory container designed to hold glass, frit, or other heat tolerant materials while they are heated in a kiln or furnace environment. Its compact size makes it ideal for small batch melting, testing color, warming small quantities of material, or keeping a small reserve of molten glass available for quick pickup and application. In lampworking and scientific glassblowing, a mini crucible like this is used when you want controlled, localized material handling, such as preheating glass chunks for faster pickup, holding small amounts of color for stringer pulls, or staging material for small hot shop style experiments without committing to a full size pot.
How it is used:
Place the crucible pot on a stable kiln shelf or appropriate refractory support. Load the pot with the glass or material you intend to heat, keeping the fill level reasonable to reduce spill risk. Heat according to your material and process, allowing the crucible to come up to temperature gradually. Use appropriate high temperature tools to handle the pot if it must be moved while hot. Allow the crucible to cool slowly with the kiln cycle to reduce thermal shock and extend service life.
