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

Jillian :

I’m still stuck on the microwave kiln

Bluey the eras tour :

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

POPUPSALEINTHELADIESROOM :

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

uncle_stinky2 :

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

Bucky :

heating Uranium-238... nothing could possibly go wrong.

CraftyMom :

I appreciate you proving it 🥰

Not that guy :

What does the uranium glass taste like ?

Vilde :

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

Alejandra ♡ :

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

Amzi :

Sell the byproduct to artists that make jewelry

Joan Bonache Ortega :

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!

🌙Kristina Vann⭐️ :

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

Kevin :

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

LizLewRose :

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

felixfemboy11 :

You’ve got to cool it down very slowly!

Ілля Каратєєв :

a WHAT glass?😳

dels 🦈 :

reagan 🧪🌿 :

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

Kali :

could you have separate buckets for each type of glass?

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

Lil_boy_dummy :

Does he actually use a microwave??

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?
