ParticipantI’m sure this is a question that has been posted already. But, I must ask anyway. Ok, so I am new to glass fusing. I tried experimenting with fusing glass in my ultra lite kiln. ok laugh
I will soon buy a regular glass kiln. I would like to make jewelry pendant with float glass and colorful bubbles. I saw a youtube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0auEixA82U) and a book on the amazon website. The problem is that both are not in english. I really would like to learn this technique. I’ve been searching the web and some say use baking soda, bubble powder or copper oxide. I want to make colorful bubbles and I don’t want to things to get too expensive. Does anyone has any DIY suggestions?

ParticipantFirst, forget float. It requires too much heat, devitrifies easilly, is stiff – wont allow bubbles to form easilly.

ParticipantSteve, you forgot!
Also, float is highly highly limiting in smaller pieces. Far fewer choices.
