best glass for toppping

Post by Birdzilla44 »

Any suggestions for a clear glass (Bullseye coe 90) as a fused topping glass? Need clear and no bubbles.

I use 3mm Tekta clear to cap all of my work. Bullseye also makes crystal clear Tekta, but the regular works well for me. Occasionally I find bubbles that I don't like and I will just drill them out and use the piece on a different layer of my work.

Thanks David. I have not tired the crystal clear tekta, but if the difference is negligible in clarity and lack of color, the regular should work for me. A good shiny clear is want I want.
