Is this glass safe to use acetone with? I'm making a styrofoam melting station and am looking for something to hold the acetone in.

I think you'll want a thicker glass for this. You can try it as it is microwave proof, but its the acetone that would possibly break down the glass.

I'm sorry,but I'm not familiar with all the properties of acetone to give you a definite answer. The bowl is tempered glass. I'm not sure if that information will help you or not.

Yes you can. I have fire glass in mine. It actually came with clear glass. I use the clear glass as a base and I bought a nice Azure Blue for the top. Turned out nice!

Unfortunately I use these drill bits for drilling stone not glass. For me I use a high RPM 10k - 25k under water to keep the bit cool and clean. I would think the same process would work for fused glass as well. For the price of the bits and if you have a piece of glass try some drilling to see what would work best for your process.

I use the one I purchased for making silver & crystal pendants as the slightly broader flame can heat my piece more evenly with it's broader flame. The only times I used it on glass, the glass would crack if it was over about 4mm, both as was heating it and as it was cooling. Hope this helps

Do you mean candle/flame or a heating plate? You should check with the manufacturer. I would imagine its safe to use on a warming plate/tray, but I would put a potholder or a piece of wool felt between the pot and the glass heating surface, if there's a chance of it getting too hot. That's what I do for a large tea party or gathering. I wouldn't use a flame under my teapot without checking with the manufacturer.

I have used the smaller version on a plastic bin before with no issues of melting. And I have the xl heating pad on a glass tank that sits on a ikea tv stand with no problem. I do not see why these would pose a threat to the wood stand. Also Google came up with results saying wood will start to burn at 450 degrees (depends on the type of wood), so I think these heating pads would be fine.

Its made from Stainless steel so you could use it on a hot burner top if you need to..but it might damage the paint finish eventually..as far as a glass top is concerned.. id place something between like felt rounds on corners. I hope this helps. I'm very happy with mine.

This can be used for cleaning glass, plastics, and seals, but be careful, as this will leach color much like stronger acetone.

I would not use a solvent like acetone in any enclosed environment. Several non-flammable cleaning solutions are available through Amazon including jewelry cleaners etc

Hey Eileen- I'm not sure exactly which aspect of 'safe' you're looking for but i baked a plate that i had drawn on with an oil based sharpie- the only issue i had was that the deaign came out kind of speckled but since it was uniform throughout the design it was kinda cool, i haven't tried it again to see if it was a fluke or not- i've read that using the oil sharpies then baking makes the plates food & dishwasher safe- i don't know how true that is, but i've read it several places. I found your question because i'm making wine glasses tomorrow- some places say bake them & one said the heat will cause it to break-- i guess i'll find out tomorrow!! I hope this helped!

Shireen, I primarily use mine with acrylics. The unit is light and very quiet. I'm extremely happy with my purchase.

Dear Pamela, Thank you for your interest on our equipment. This kiln is fully suitable for works with glass soften and fusing processes because reaches 1000 C (1832 F), but we do not know this process as well as you and do not have any idea what you will do with this bottle after it will reached a required temperature. This kiln is very compact and is two small to work inside the chamber because it will cool down very quick if door is open. Or you will have enough time to take this bottle out and work with the edge before it will going to be cold? No any idea. sorry:) Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! With Regards Yossef D'Lure Technicalsupermarket TSMP Ltd

This product is very good but glass itself is not really strong. So I think it won't be a good idea.

I wouldn't risk it. The glass is such poor quality that one of mine even arrived from the factory with a hairline crack, in a place that was not likely cracked due to shipping damage. (After multiple emails, my latest replacement still hasn't arrived.). This type of glass is technically supposed to be more resilient when heated and cooled, but unfortunately that isn't true of this particular product.

I wouldn't use it with plastic. It heats up enough to melt ice, so use only metal to be safe.

wood? no problem! I've been using this for anything but glass. soft metal, stainless metal, circuit boards, very stable drill chuck...even 0.001" hole

No, this product is hard plastic and will not bend. Unfortunately, I am only a consumer not a representative for the company. I would suggest a custom glass shop in your area.
