A snowflake shape would be pretty with the tempered glass. The pieces are gorgeous and the metallic paint took them to another level! Thank you for sharing.
My dads sliding glass door shattered recently(apparently that is a normal happening for tempered glass🤷♀️ I just thought it was so pretty! So I scooped up a bunch and thought it would be really cool for the bottom of a fish tank as well :) So yeah definitely collecting some tempered glass! Great idea and a snowflake❤️👍🏽
I have been collecting tempered glass for over 10 years. And it always makes me feel bad, but I have only collected it from the gutter when someone's car has been broken into on the street. I have never tried any arts and crafts of any sort until now, as I am retired. It will be fun to watch your videos to see what I can finally make, thank you.
Awesome video, wish I found your channel sooner!! Your information and instructions are perfect and so thorough. Excellent tutorial! I’ve never worked with glass before, now you’ve got me hooked, Thank you so much 💙
my auto windshield repair shop would not allow me to dumpster dive for glass. i understand why-insurance purposes- i for got to tell them to fill the 5 gallon empty pail i had in the back of the truck. next time....great vid by the way.
I usually get my molds at the Las Vegas Glass Expo every April. Many of the popular mold manufacturers are there & are also in the Expo book which you can see on their website. I also use glazed ceramic plates & trays that I find at thrift stores. I have a video on how to use them.
Thanks Susan, I love it !... 2 questions for you, 😊 can you fuse tempered glass onto ordinary flat fusible glass, and also between 2 pieces of normal fusible glass? Many thanks Annie
Great question. The short answer is NO! Glass that is fused together needs to be the same “COE”. Which means it expands and contracts at the same rate. If you use a COE 90 glass with COE 96 or any other COE glass there will be stress within the piece and it will eventually break from the stress. Most fusers use COE 90 OR COE 96. Some fusers only use recycled glass but they have to do special tests to see if 2 different pieces of glass are the same COE. Or just use recycled glass from the same original piece like I did in the video. (That was the long answer) :-)
@@SusanMcGarryGlass I saw a piece in an exhibition, that was all clear glass with quite thick pieces fused between 2 x 3mm sheets of glass it was amazing...
I enjoy your videos. I just bought a kiln for fusing in the microwave. I What kind of power of a microwave do I need? Keep enjoying your experimentaions. You do nice work.
Hi Susan. If I heard you correctly you said you can tack fuse and slump all at one time. I was always nervous to do this beachside I thought it was bad for the mold.
I agree. Molds aren’t meant to go too high but I decided to take the chance and all of my molds are fine. (I have made several more pieces since I filmed this a couple of weeks ago)
That is awesome! I have a bag of tempered glass pieces & a microwave kiln...I'm going to have to see if that works! I also have a question...when you say float glass, what exactly are you referring to? Also, can you fuse mirror pieces?
Float glass usually refers to window glass. I don’t think mirror would fuse well because the mirror coating would burn off at the high temperatures we use to fuse glass.
I was given some broken tempered glass that is Smoky colored and I can't figure out what to do with it because you don't really see through it in the same way that you do with the clear or kind of bluish tint.
Why not break it up and try to fuse it back together like in the video? It could be cool. There are groups just for fusing recycled glass and search google images for ideas with the type of glass you were given.
Primarily because the pieces are so small & they are tack fused. They are not holding onto a lot of stress. But adding an annealing segment would not be a bad thing.

@@kellyclark7517 The shattered glass actually has that icy look. Good idea in saving the shattered glass!
Thanks Susan!
You’re welcome

Search "tempered glass & resin" for a lot of cool ideas.
Thanks for the video Susan. I love working tempered glass.
Love these ideas, definitely will use the idea in the bonus. All very informative and pretty. Thank you.
I just found your channel and i love the pieces.thanks for sharing
Thanks so much for the video. Very interesting. I showed my husband and he said we have tempered glass so I will be trying this . Can’t wait.
Awesome video, wish I found your channel sooner!!
Your information and instructions are perfect and so thorough.
Excellent tutorial!

5:39 i wish I'd have found your channel sooner. You're awesome and thank you 😊 ☺️ ❤️.
I love it!!! All of them..I am almost a year into fusing and I am just discovering float glass but I have yet to try something
Thanks to share and put the temperature in C 🤜🤛👍👍
I loved this. Going to visit a glass shop soon. Thank you.
Just love your videos. Thank you 😊
Was ma alles machen kann .Sehr schön und eine super Idee .
Beautiful thank you
I love it!

Go to a glass shop that doesn't care if you dumpster dive. :-)
Thank you for sharing video! I’m interested to making ❤ Can you share, where can I buy molds?

Can you mix tempered glass with standard fusing glass (90coe or 96coe) and fire the piece in a kiln? Thanks so much.
Absolutely not. Never mix any of those glasses. I use all 3 but never together.
Would stringer or rod work for the church windows? I’d like it to look more like stained glass. I have an idea for decorating the base also
I think stringers or rods would be too fragile for windows. And I definitely wouldn’t mix them with tempered glass.
HERMOSOS TRABAJOS !!!!

The full fuse schedule, is that what you did exactly?
I have used alcohol inks also and then sprayed a coating of clear.
I LOVE that idea.

I don’t use a microwave kiln but there are many groups for it.

@@SusanMcGarryGlass Thank you so much for the info., I really do appreciate it!
This is awesome. Where do you get the building moulds?
I got those from Delphi Glass a few years ago.
I was given some broken tempered glass that is Smoky colored and I can't figure out what to do with it because you don't really see through it in the same way that you do with the clear or kind of bluish tint.
I would still give it a try. It could be cool.
@@SusanMcGarryGlass do what with it
Why not break it up and try to fuse it back together like in the video? It could be cool. There are groups just for fusing recycled glass and search google images for ideas with the type of glass you were given.
@@SusanMcGarryGlass I don't have any of the equipment to fuse glass
Can it be fused in oven?
No
Susan do I need a mold with no bottom?
No
Where did you get that bowl mold?
I couldn’t remember so I didn’t say in the video. It might be one my ceramic friend made me.
I’m just starting to learn about using glass is one easier than the other as far as CEO is like 96 or 90 I’m so confused
why no anneal hold?
Primarily because the pieces are so small & they are tack fused. They are not holding onto a lot of stress. But adding an annealing segment would not be a bad thing.

Getting lots of "no's" as I am calling around to glass shops.
