How can I go about melting glass?

Answer by  Latin4 (11170)

Unless you are an expert at working with glass, this is something that you don't want to try. Glass blowers are the only people that can do this.

You need a kiln and glass blowing equipment to properly melt glass. This will run you thousands, so I recomend taking a glass blowing class.

If you only need to melt small amounts of glass (e. g. for making lampworked beads or jewelery), you can use a small propane torch.

First you will need a very high temp furnace 2000 , the shattered glass your planning on melting and some very high quality tongs to remove and shape the glass
