Gold and Silver Wire
for fuming glass
Nearly
pure gold and silver wire. Cut off
a short piece and heat stick it to the molten end of a borosilicate
(Pyrex) glass rod. Put the metal in the direct flame and get
it hot. The metal will slowly burn off and make "smoke". When you place glass in
the "smoke" it will fume the glass. Use proper ventilation,
never breath any type of metal fumes.
The silver will easily stick to the glass, but pure gold (24 ct)
does not want to stick to the glass, so either:
1) Put down a silver coating and then use the pure (24ct) on top of the silver coating
OR 2) Use the less pure gold (22ct), the impurities will help the gold stick to the glass.
Each method will actually give you a slighty different effect.
Please bear in mind that there is a minimum order
amount for each item in this section.
