Glass Notes Version 4.0 has been completely upgraded from Version 3 with fully illustrated new chapters on batching, fuming, casting, annealing, fusing, pate de verre, sand casting, and more. You will also find illustrated information on furnace heat recuperation written by the two experts in the field, Charlie Correll and Hugh Jenkins. Alicia Lomné has written a fabulous section on pate de verre. Pete VanderLaan tells us how to batch glass and set up a batch room. Dr. Frank Woolley presents us with information on stress and what happens when glass goes bad and what caused it. If your a sand caster I reveal a new trick on how to achieve clean glass surfaces. All the other sections have been rewritten with new and upgraded illustrations, charts, and photographs. Illustrated how-to build day tanks, pot furnaces, annealing ovens, glory holes, a garage, a battery powered pipe cooler, Tom Ash's square glory hole, the ever popular HUB IFB glory hole, it's all there in the new Glass Notes. Where to purchase tools and all sorts of materials for your glass studio has been totally re-written and expanded to include web sites and e-mail contacts. Need to buy a furnace liner, click here.
