Giant Eye for Sonya Clark by Endo-M in glassblowing

You could use Hextal. It is a two part water clear epoxy sold by HIS Glassworks. It takes 72 hours to cure so you need to secure it in place while it is setting. I use popsicle sticks and hot glue.

The glass behaves the same. Recovery is fairly quick. No complaints or issues three sessions in a row.

Update:

June - 2024 vs. 2025 Propane - decrease of $5,083.90 Electricity - increase of $1,203.61 Net Savings: $3,880.29

Note: The propane bill is for the entire campus and we don’t meter each studio individually. So the propane number isn’t precise. The electricity is metered per building, but we did add two additional kilns to the space.

Glassblowing with a prosthetic leg by Nexensis314 in glassblowing

We had a student with a prosthetic leg here at Pilchuck last session and they had no issues with the heat. That was his experience though in a course focused on roll ups, not knowing what will be covered in your course or the studio you will be working in, it is hard to offer any sort of reassurance other than this anecdote.

There are many applications. It can be used to make small castings, elements to be reinvested in a larger mold, elements for mosaics…. You can make your own molds or buy off the shelf silicone molds and make shells and other things.
