COE's

Post by cindabr »

:D Thanks everyone for answering my other post..now I have another question.

I've been using strickly either Spectrum 96 fusible or Bullseye fusible. I know NOT to mix the two. But can Wasser fusible (90 COE) be used with Bullseye?

So can you use other manufacturers of glass with together as long as the COE's are the same?

Thanks
Cinda

cinda, the coe is usually the important thing - i have both be and uroboros 90 coe and they go together just fine - wasser tho might reach full fuse at different temperatures, check dti's website for technical information on that. it may just take a bit of experimentation on your part to find the happy fusing temp of a combo of be and wasser....

Sort of, you should always test first if you are going to use more than one manufacturer.

I agree with Amy. I had some Uroboros 90 (opaque yellow) that I used with BE and there was lots of stress in the finished piece, even tho they were both 90 and should have been compatible. Now I always test first.
