Product Detail

Technical Specifications:
The product can be thermally heated and hand poured once molten, for best results use silicon rubber or silicon coated moulds.

Softening Point: 105°C
Density: 1.1 grams per cubed centimetre
Pouring temperature: 120-140°C

To make simple small panes of glass:
Screw some 25mm square battens onto the ply to define the size.
The battens should be covered in parcel tape or polythene to stop the Breakaway Glass from sticking. Use a light release agent on the board such as Formula 6. Heat the Breakaway Glass in a double pot with an air gap rather than a water jacket [to achieve the necessary above 100°C temperatures].
Pour the melted glass to cover the board and leave it level to cool.
Unscrew one or more of the battens and tap the Melamine covered board with a hammer.
The glass will slide off.
We used to use squares of underfelt between each sheet and tour the sheets in a special wooden box. Keep the boxes cool.

Alternatively Flints can provide pre-formed panes of glass. The maximum window glass sheet size is 1 m x 1 m - the sheets are packed in wooden crates to allow for transportation. Please phone for a quote for Window Glass.
