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. http://www.ddoty.com/pagehansen.html Good luck, Randy Hansen SC Glass Tech. Scam Diego, Comi-fornia |

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.
