  1. Today I learned that you can dissolve silver nitrate crystals in water and pour it all over the glass batch. The furnace is tuned much better and is getting to really nice glass cooking temps. We will even be able to do a "bubble squeeze" - there the temp is lowered to below working temp which helps the bubbles rise up to the surface and makes nice clean glass. Then we will raise it back up to 2150 tomorrow morning for tube pulling :)

    Very excited. Others in the studio are also getting excited as word is getting around about the color furnace. I hope some of my pro glassblower friends can take a dip out of the color furnace and use it after me to make fun colors.
    The studio manager wants to experiment with decoloring glass to enhance recycling with it. Being able to melt the custom glasses really opens up possibilities.
    We are all excited to see what the Silver, Tin, Zinc glass does.
