 Glass is pretty good. When tempered and treated it's pretty shock-resistant, can handle a wide range of temperatures, handles radiation. Glass is pretty good. When tempered and treated it's pretty shock-resistant, can handle a wide range of temperatures, handles radiation.

 +== Sourcing ==
 +For my initial experiments I want to use recycled glass. I have lots of mirror scraps, some blown glass bottles, and a glass tabletop. I need to solve a few problems:
 +
 +  * Removing the silvering on the mirrors,
 +  * Blown versus float glass,
 +  * Smashing the glass into frit,
 +    * Particle size,
 +    * Wash versus non-wash.
 +  * Fusing the glass into solid chunks.
 +    * Temperature profile,
 +    * Flux.
