Now I really like this way! Ty for sharing 💕

Have a great day...

So for fusing glass same temp and process? I have some scrap fusing glass to turn into frit and currently using a very tedious process and this looks so much easier.

[@laurar8486]

Cool! Why do you add salt?

[@CristinaSchnellboegl]

Salt makes the cold water colder

[@katewolverton9816]

Can this frit be used with other kinds of glass.

[@CristinaSchnellboegl]

No, in the fusing process you can’t mix different COE

[@CarolAnnBarrows]

My oven only goes up to 500 Fahrenheit. Will this method work with this temperature?

[@CristinaSchnellboegl]

Give it a try

[@CarolAnnBarrows]

@@CristinaSchnellboegl Thanks for your reply! I will.

Lots of sour Sally’s in this thread. Give him a break, do you tell the guys driving 75mph on a freeway with tons of flammable fuel in the haul of their truck that their profession is dangerous??
Didn’t think so, the point was to give everyone a new idea, cheaper and fun. But apparently most who viewed have never even held a torch in their hand or a hammer and nail 😂
Good video thanks for the idea.
PS- It’s just an idea if you don’t feel comfortable doing it well…. Just don’t! Imagine what sone people go through to make your steel car parts in foreign countries with molten metals and nothing but a t shirt and shorts with flippers. Point is, they understand what they are doing and respect the risk.

Thank you 🙏

Not really sure why you would go thru this whole process. First of all, the frit in the video is not fusable ....you don't know what CEO it is. Secondly, I just put glass in a baggie and smash it with a hammer....and I used fusable glass to use in other art work.

pretty unsafe. Effective though. Pieces of glass were left on your skin.

[@CristinaSchnellboegl]

If you work with glass, you know how to deal with.

[@staceyferguson7754]

Bandaids are our 2nd best friend . I like this idea. Gonna try it

[@kareykaram4243]

Very unsafe technique. Adding heated jar to ice water without immediate shielding risks loss of vision when jar explodes. Using your foot to crush glass jar is asking for curved shards to slice into your foot!

Do you work with glass?
