Hi all
Is float glass food safe, even the tin side?

Can't think of a reason why it wouldn't be food safe.

I understand if some glazes aren't fired correctly, they can leech chemicals into food, but that can easily be corrected by always capping the design with glass.

I was just worried about the tin side more than anything. And I will make sure that my enamels are fired correctly.
Thanks all.
