C.O.E 90 VS C.O.E 96
Other then the obvious differences of compatibility and perhaps different
colors and patterns - is there really any difference between the two? If not
what's the sense having two types in the first place?

2 companies that went into business with different glass formulations and decided to stick with them as they grew... it's that simple. And the fused glass movement didn't exist when they started, so compatibility wasn't an issue.Steve Eshbaugh wrote:Brock: It can't be that simple- can it?

The fused glass movement didn't exist when Bullseye started making compatible glass. It did exist when Spectrum started making compatible glass. I think there are various reasons for the coefficients.

The development that may be the most interesting (and perhaps have the greatest impact on the market for fusing supplies) is Armstrong's introduction of COE80 that's compatible to fuse onto float glass.

Armstrong float
Here's information on Armstrong's colored float: http://www.armstrongglass.com Click on Fire Float 82. Note that a spec of 82 plus or minus 3 means that the glass is not necessarily compatible across its own line, much less other brands of float.
Several other companies make colored float.
