    The Fusion Kilns from Paragon were designed for glass fusing and slumping.  The Paragon Fusion 8 is the classic kiln the Fusion series and is large enough for most glass artists firing a single large glass project.  Physically the Paragon Fusion 8 is an 8 sided kiln with a firing chamber that is 17½" wide x 11" deep and uses two elements in lid of the kiln in element grooves that are smaller than the element to prevent element drooping without the use of element pins.  The standard Fusion 8 is equipped with a lock-in lid support and Sentry Xpress 3-Key Digital Controller.  The Fusion 8 can be upgraded lid safety switch to shut off power to the elements when the lid is opened, high performance Mercury Relay for durability, Ceramic Fiber lid with replaceable elements and of course the Sentry 2.0 12-Key Digital Controller for greater control of the firing.
