In this video, I’m using my microwave kiln to turn tiny scraps of bottle glass into bright, charming little cross shapes. There’s something magical about watching ordinary shards blend into smooth, glowing pieces.
Whether you’re new to fused glass or just love bite-sized creative projects, this quick kiln adventure shows how accessible and fun small-scale glasswork can be.

I think 90 and 96 are typical for fusing. 96 is most commonly used in offhand glassblowing, where furnaces are used. 104 is most common for small lampworking items (using a torch to make beads for example). 92 is apparently used for tubes used for neon signs. Also 33 COE (borosilicate - original Pyrex) is used for making most scientific apparatus as well as artistic blown glass using a torch because it requires a lot more heat than higher COEs.
Last but certainly not least COE ~0 - Fused Silica - AKA Quartz - most commonly used in scientific apparatus where optical clarity is crucial, and probably other reasons too. The lower the COE, the more thermal shock it can handle for the most part, as it expands and contracts a great deal less!
Importantly for using found-glass - There are a few easy ways to check the COE of unknown glass by testing it against a known COE. Lookup "glass stringer COE test".
