@blondeokie: Melting glass using a microwave kiln. #flintknapping #arrowheads #microwavekiln #kiln #glassart

Bluey the eras tour :

I kinda don’t like the idea of a microwave being able to melt glass

Jillian :

I’m still stuck on the microwave kiln

uncle_stinky2 :

You need to reheat multiple times, with rapid cooling in between grinds. You are making a frit.

CraftyMom :

I appreciate you proving it 🥰

🌙Kristina Vann⭐️ :

could the glass shards in the bucket be mixed with concrete to make recycled glass countertops?

Alejandra ♡ :

there's a company that turns old glass into sand for sand bags in Louisiana for flooding

Vilde :

Can’t you just have different buckets for different types of glass

Not that guy :

What does the uranium glass taste like ?

fēnyxfemboy :

You’ve got to cool it down very slowly!

Joan :

Stained glass artist here! This is theoretically correct, when fusing glass COE becomes less important the smaller the glass particles are. Problem is the microwave kiln, since you don’t have enough control of the temperature fluctuations to avoid internal pressures when cooling!

Kevin :

what if you use a separate bucket and use it for only one type of glass, then melt it

Lil_boy_dummy :

Does he actually use a microwave??

Kali :

could you have separate buckets for each type of glass?

POPUPSALEINTHELADIESROOM :

the concept of a microwave kiln is so weird to me.

Ілля Каратєєв :

a WHAT glass?😳

M4rsMagnus :

Couldn’t you seperate the flakes for every project? Then you’d always know which coe a given batch of flakes has

afelpadito :

hey you can put them in a caleidoscope

LizLewRose :

they would make really pretty pendants though, coat with resin for strength/protection and I think it would work!

reagan 🧪🌿 :

There are companies that work to use recycled glass for sand to protect coastlines 🌎

Juliana Thompson :

is there any way to put it in to a shape like a mold of some kind because it would make a pretty pendant or other jewelry

horop17 :

why don't you just get seperate buckets for each Coe that you use?

W. Weaver :

it's not heating to a high enough point to mix them

Kraetys :

It seems like they’re breaking along sheer lines, you would need a way to make them a homogenous mixture or something to reinforce those lines

angelina :

why don't you make jewellery out of them?
