- In this video I try a few projects with FREE tempered glass I found in the trash at a glass shop (I got permission). Tempered glass is a bit different than special fusible glass. But with a little knowledge & a few adjustments you can make some treasures of your own.
Tack fusing schedule for Tempered Glass (Bowl, Pendant & Building)
500˚F (260˚C) per hour to 1425˚F (775˚C)
Hold for 10 minutes
Full Fuse Schedule for Tempered Glass (Building Base)
500˚F (260˚C) per hour to 1600˚F (870˚C)
Hold for 10 minutes
Easy Peasy!
I hope you give it a try!
Susan

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❤️👍🏽
@@kellyclark7517 The shattered glass actually has that icy look. Good idea in saving the shattered glass!
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.
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.
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.
Search "tempered glass & resin" for a lot of cool ideas.
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 💙
5:39 i wish I'd have found your channel sooner. You're awesome and thank you 😊 ☺️ ❤️.
I just found your channel and i love the pieces.thanks for sharing
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 😊
I love it!
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
Beautiful thank you
Was ma alles machen kann .Sehr schön und eine super Idee .
HERMOSOS TRABAJOS !!!!
Por favor traducir al Español Gracias ❤
I have used alcohol inks also and then sprayed a coating of clear.
I LOVE that idea.
Thank you for sharing video! I’m interested to making ❤ Can you share, where can I buy molds?
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.
I don’t use a microwave kiln but there are many groups for it.
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)
This is awesome. Where do you get the building moulds?
I got those from Delphi Glass a few years ago.
The full fuse schedule, is that what you did exactly?
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...
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.
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.
@@SusanMcGarryGlass Thank you so much for the info., I really do appreciate it!
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 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
Susan do I need a mold with no bottom?
No
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
Can it be fused in oven?
No
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.
