We bought a ton of clear 90 from bullseye for a large commission of fusible murrini.

Spectrum sells a 96 glass. They have the studio nuggets or crushed up sheet. Getting it to Fairbanks might cost more than the glass though.

You edited your post to read 90-96 instead of just 90. Which do you want? What is your plan?

[Pete VanderLaan]

Gabbert cullet is going to have a number of clear cullets around a 92-93. They may not always be available. Bullseye is your best source on 90 and Spectrum is your best source on 96. Pricey.

Just found out yesterday that Gabbert no longer carries any clear cullet except a special melt of FHC @ .85/lb. Anyone out there have any 4c left over?

[Warren Trefz]

Okay, just a bit of a slip there. I meant c4 cullet but it has been a bad day already so maybe the 4c is not such a bad idea.

[Brian Graham]

Last time I drove by Gabbert, the outside lot which is usually full of giant glass piles, was just about empty. The cullet is drying up in the Ohio valley.

Raw materials on there scale probably puts there batch cost about 15 cents a pound that leaves some room to pay for the melt. I'm sure production would stop cold if there wasn't money to be made.

Who would have ever guessed we would have designer cullet being made.

[Dave Bross]

Yes

I would guess the only slightly expensive material in there is good sand and their tanks are electric (electrodes submerged in the glass and kicked on after it's brought up to heat otherwiswe) in a state rich with hydroelectric. They don't cook it long enough to fine it so good savings for them there too.

If you're ever near Spectrum they'll take you for a tour through the factory. It's my favorite industrial tour.
