yes there is. you heat up the glass, and add the tin chloride. however, it's
extremely dangerous to use and do at home without the proper expertise and
equipment. since you're asking, you probably have neither.

The iridizing is done in a glory hole with a reducing atmosphere. Charles is
right about the Tin Chloride, but it's how it's applied makes a big
difference in the end result. He is also right about it being bad for you if
your inhaling heavy metals.

I'm not a into fusing/slumping, and I'm really not sure if there is a
product for that purpose. I just know how it was done originally through my
dads efforts in iridizing glass.

Here's a link to some samples of his work. I'm sad to say he just passed
away a just couple of weeks ago. So I would like to give him some
recognition which he never sought for his life's work.

Terribly sorry to learn of your loss, in my earlier research on
paperweights, I happened on a book that had some photos of their early work
together, you father and Uncle, very nice work,. I had no idea their realm
of expertise extended to the iridizing of the Carnival glass. Brilliant
work, and more recognition of his work is in order.
Deepest sympathy extended.

Thanks Java,

The was the last of his siblings to survive.

I too am sorry to hear about your father. I remember Ron bringing some of
the pieces to sell here in NJ. He explained the process to me. But not the
chemistry.
Your family were one of the pioneers in glass.
