A friend getting out of the glass art gave me 20 sheets (!) of 2mm clear 96. I've just worked with 3mm (and thicker). I don't really make jewelry (she used it a lot for that) and was curious if using the 2mm would make a big difference as a cap or second layer in my wall panels, bowls, etc.?
Thought I'd ask before I give it a try. Any thoughts?

Re: 2mm Clear 96
the hotter you go, the more it will shrink because it's trying to get to 6mm overall. you might get dogboning or something similar.

Re: 2mm Clear 96
Three sheets of thin equals 2 sheets of standard, both are 6mm which gives a normal footprint. Chance for more bubbles.

Those were two of the things I was worried about. Not really sure what I'll do with it...Thanks.

Re: 2mm Clear 96
2 layers of 96 does not always add up to 6mm, when taken from the center of a sheet. An extra 2 might help it get there...

Re: 2mm Clear 96
I use Bullseye's thin glass as design elements all the time. Get some powders and make yourself a bunch of patterned thin glass to cut up and use as your own custom accessory glass. Just keep the pieces about 1/2" away from edges so you don't get bulging edges.
