good day all from the snow and cold of east coast Canada.
I was wondering if anyone ever slumped glass with cellular concrete. I have seen this product In France and the use it ti insulate the houses but it is porous like refractory bricks so I was wondering how it handle itself with the heat...

I don't exactly know what cellular concrete is but fondue cement is heavy stuff that makes one tough mold that devits the glass. Holds so much heat that it seemingly never cools down in the kiln.

I was at the ACC show today in Baltimore. I saw an artist there that had fused pieces of glass inside concrete/cement (don't know what it was) and then cold worked it to a high polish. Nice stuff, unfortunately the artist was not in the booth, just a helper that did not know the process.

If its the stuff I think it is its very soft
I not used it but here R some thoughts
As its got air in dont fast fire possibilyty of small explosion
Across the road from my cafe is a sculptor who uses 'Hebel Bricks' which her husband is the local building supplier of such product.
I haven't had time to test it for possible use, but am told that it insulates, handles great heat but degrades to a powdery surface on the side that cops the heat.
It is light weight, porous and easy to shape which is obviously the pros.
