There are a number of chemicals that are used to make carnival glass. I am still working on perfecting my formulations through trial and error but some of the chemicals that I use that have results that I am happy with are as follows. I use silver nitrate to give me a kind of neat metallic swirl effect and to break up pieces of color. I am very happy with the results of rolling my hot glass over a small amount of Silver nitrate. Another more recent addition to my glass blowing is a solution that I make myself out of Tin II (stannous Chloride) and Muriatic acid. I mix the solution about one third Tin II, one third Muriatic acid, and one third distilled water. I use this solution in a spray bottle to spray on my piece before putting it in the annealing oven. Once sprayed, it is important not to reinsert piece into the glory hole and proper ventilation is a must. This solution will make a brilliant irridescent finish on your glass and I am very happy with the results. I am still continuing to experiment with various things and I would love to know about any other chemicals, salts, oxides, or metals that any of you have any luck with. I hope this answers your question.

Look at water in a glass. Describe it. Now add 1/2 a teaspoon of table salt to the water in the glass and sir it to make a salt solution. Look at the slat solution in the class. Describe it. Are the two descriptions you made different? If not then as water is a liquid, you have answered your question.

If you spray the back of glass with silve paint will that show reflection?

Not properly. There are two ways to make a mirror: Domestic mirrors are silvered (with metallic silver) on the back surface (because people touch the front) of the glass then this silver layer is coated with protective paint and plastic. A domestic mirror lasts a long time. Astronomical mirrors are silvered (with metallic aluminum) on the front surface of the glass (so the light does not have to pass through the glass to be reflected) by evaporating the aluminum metal onto the glass. An astronomical mirror needs frequent re-silvering.


Which is better tin pie pan or glass pie pan?

Glass or ceramic make the best pies. They hold the heat more evenly. Glass has the benefit of being see-through, so you can see the color of the crust. Metal pie pans sometimes give pies a metallic taste. Dont put a frozen pie in a glass dish into a hot oven or the glass will break!

How do you make silver nano?

The most common device uses three 9-volt batteries in series to make a 27-volt DC source. This is hooked to two pure silver wires that are suspended in a glass of water. Some recommend using a salt solution to increase the conductivity of the water. With a salt solution it takes about 2 minutes to make a glass of colloidal silver. Others claim that the salt solution can cause problems and recommend to only use steam-distilled water. Without the salt it may take 45 to 60 minutes to make a glass of colloidal silver. The serious problem with this method is that you do not know when the process is done, and how many PPM of colloidal silver you made. Running a few extra minutes may burn the silver and create mud on the bottom and metallic silver floating on the top of the water. This may contain dangerously large particles of silver!
