Higher C.O.E. sheet glass question

Post by CMWarren »

I have heard that you can get fusing glass in 104 C.O.E. but have not been able to find it. The reason is i have a design is basied out of 104 Morritti Glass rods, and was hesitant to just glue them to each other with out a glass surface until it to make it more stury.

I was wondering if anyone had ever heard of or used 104 sheet glass for fusing, and if so, if they would perhaps know where one might buy it.

Looking for a way to use all ym morritti rods since i have strayed away from flameworking to play with my new kiln.

You can get Moretti Sheets at http://www.arrowsprings.com/html/moretti.html. I've used Arrowsprings before for my rods and really like the service!

Charlie,
Carolyn Leadbetter was the one that did our names last year. It was done with Moretti sheets and letter canes.

I acutally used the design I had created for the glass rods for a final project in a fusing course I am finishing. Instead I made it out of a clear base, and black iradised glass for part of the design, though when done with rods it will be solid color. I just filled it in with frit to make it level. Here is the picture to show what im going for, though the design with rods is more filled and a little more exact.

I am planning to do it either with a white base, once I get the glass, and get my kilned moved from my grandmothers shop to my garage, as I find it hard to use my kiln when i have so much to do at home, so im moving it, and this is my planned first project after the move. This is three layers, and was done in a faily large kiln but im going to do it in my little 8 inch kiln as i have figured out how to turn it so it will fit on my 7 inch shelf. Will be glad when I have space for a larger kiln, and the money to buy one :0)

Wonders if my teacher is lurking around as I type this, yes I am working on my report, just got to find a artist first to use :0)

This guy sells on Ebay. He has some 104COE sheet glass.

I bought some from him to do something a bit similar to what you're doing, only I wanted to fuse millefiori to the sheet glass for jewelry.
