Two Color Ferns Decal Sheet

This decal sheet presents five botanical fern illustrations, each rendered in two tones: a deep green fill with warm golden-olive veining and outlines. The silhouettes vary across the sheet. One is a broad frond with rounded, closely spaced leaflets, another a long gracefully arching frond with narrow divisions, a third compact and upright, and the remaining two fuller and more spreading with densely layered feathery leaflets. The variety gives you a range of fern shapes to place, overlap, or use on their own.

These are water-slide fusible glass decals designed to be applied to pre-fired glass and fired to bond the image permanently to the surface. Because they adhere to the top of the glass rather than fusing as a compatible insert, they work with any COE glass. Once fired, the two-color botanical detail reads as crisp, integrated surface imagery, well suited to platters, coasters, wall panels, and decorative tiles.

How do I apply a fern decal to my glass?
Soak the decal in clean water for about thirty seconds until it slides freely from its backing. Position it on clean, pre-fired glass, smooth out trapped water and air with a soft squeegee or fingertip, and let it dry completely before loading the kiln.

Can these decals be used with any COE glass?
Yes. The decal is fired onto the surface of finished, pre-fired glass rather than fused as a glass layer, so no COE matching is required.

How many decals are on the sheet?
Five fern designs. They can be cut apart before soaking and used one at a time or arranged together in a single composition.

Should I trim the decals before soaking?
Trimming close to the design edge with scissors before soaking removes excess carrier film, which gives a smoother result after firing and lets the design blend more naturally into the glass.

Working Notes

Apply decals to clean, pre-fired glass only. The surface must be free of oils, fingerprints, and kiln wash residue before you transfer the decal. Once the decal has dried fully on the glass, fire it in your kiln. These are full-color decals, so use the peak range in the schedule below and hold about ten minutes at temperature.

Suggested Firing Schedule (the manufacturer's recommendation, a starting point only): This full-color sheet fires to a peak of 1275 to 1380 degrees F, held about 10 minutes. This is a suggested starting point, not a guarantee of results. Every kiln fires differently, so test a small piece first and anneal for the thickness of your glass. Ventilate the kiln well up to 1000 degrees and fire slowly below 500 degrees.
50 DPH to 185 degrees F, HOLD/SOAK 20 min.

250 DPH to 500 degrees F, HOLD/SOAK 15 min.
600 DPH to 1000 degrees F, HOLD/SOAK 10 min.
1000 DPH to 1275 to 1380 degrees F, HOLD/SOAK 10 min.
Anneal for the thickness of the glass.
