CAN I FUSE W/ NICHROME WIRE???

[jewelme]

I'm doing a big fused glass school project with 50 kids to raise funds. We are creating some large wind chimes and need a way to connect all the chimes. I thought I would use nichrome wire but am not sure if it is compatable with Bullseye. I would be so thankful for an answer or if anyone has a better solution for connecting the pieces.... I have used copper before but it muddied up the glass around where I used it so I didn't want to go that route again. Many Thanks!!!... Regina
