Fun or folly? That's a great question if you've been fusing glass mainly with art glass. Art glass, in my opinion, is easier than float glass.
But that may not be your opinion. Please watch the video and let me know what you think, and why.

Love float glass, such a beautiful color!

Hi Roseanne. I have a hate / love relationship with it. Not a friend with the devit and haze, but certainly is with cost and potential.

Points for doing a float glass project. Don't see that very often. Nice end result.

Hi Rick. Well, we just have to try things. I'm happy with the result, sort of.

Thanks for showing us the technique for fused glass. It looks good.

Hi Judith. It was interesting, though not as much fun and creative as art glass.

I really like it. Okay, so now i need to add a cricuit and a sandblaster to my wish list

Actually, I was going to just put the vinyl on the glass and cut the shapes out with a scalpel, but I didn't have the time. My hand shake would also be a problem. Maybe you could try a chemical etch as well.

Thanks for taking the time to do the video but float glass is a hard one to fuse. I’m not a lover of it… plus you have a sand blaster which made it impossible for the people like me who don’t have one. I have seen a FB group directed towards just fusing float. Maybe they have tricks to make it worth the time. 👍👍🐢

Yes, I know regards the sandblaster. Maybe using a chemical etc is worth trying.

@@RocketRoseArt years ago, I made a frame for a mirror out of float glass and it turned out ok…. I think. How about trying Fusemaster (I think that’s what it’s called). Bullseye sells it. You brush it on your glass (normally not float) and it’s supposed to stop devit. Thanks for trying. 🐢
