There doesn't seem to be a coupon code for the free shipping..?It's not showing up on my total even though I would be ordering over $140 worth of glass. I'd like to order soon but can't figure this out.

I am looking to purchase a new soldering iron because I just burned up 2 (they were very old 20 yrs plus) but the ones I see now for sale look large and hard to handle. I am used to a smaller Green handle would anyone be able to direct me to a good smaller size iorn for doing stained glass?

A heated doggie bed works fine, as well.

@grammalanie great tip to use an electric blanket or heating pad to warm cold glass before cutting. Would never have thought of it.

@DelphiHelper Thanks so much! :)

@Akrunner For 90 COE fusing schedules and questions, we usually refer artists to the Bullseye website. They have a lot of good information on methods and tips for working with 90 COE glass. Good luck! http://www.bullseyeglass.com/all-methods.html

@jaylynn, provided it is a tri-section screen that will be a distance from the fire, any glass will work. Darker colors absorb heat more readily, so you should stick with lighter colored designs. If you are making a flat screen that will be right up against the opening, then regular art glass won t work. Hope this helps! :)

i want to make a fireplace screen. My concern is how does the glass hold up to the heat? i don't want it to crack. is there a specific kind of glass to use when making a fireplace screen?

@bdufresne i use an electric blanket, twin size, fold it in half, place a towel on the bottom half and place several pieces glass on the towel and fold over the top half of blanket to keep it warm. this way all my glass is ready when i am ready to cut. when it is cold i try to cut glass for more than one project on the same day that way i can put the blanket away until next time.
