When tempered and treated it's pretty shock-resistant, can handle a wide range of temperatures, chemically stable, and handles radiation without degrading too much.

 +== 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.
