How does one melt glass?
I would like to melt chips of broken glass into wire frames for art purposes. Can I do this with an acetylene torch, or would I need a kiln?
Different types of glass have a different melting point, the acetylene torch will work just fine, or you can also use a oxygen-natural gas torch. I found another forum that gives different websites to answer the question better. Hope this is helpful for you.
