Using flash glass

[vblue]

I now have some Wasser flash glass. I have never used flash glass.....seen it used in regular stained glass but not fused. So here are my questions:
1. I want to put a design on the flash glass but Wasser is so thin....can it safely be sandblasted or would it be better to be etched? OR can it be etched?
2. Since the glass is two colors, can I etch/blast? my design first then fuse without losing the design?
I looked in the archives but thought I'd ask if anyone has experience with this before maybe messing up a piece.

Thanks,
Vernelle

Vernelle, I gave up on Wasser years ago, when they were going out of business, then reappearing, monthly, it seemed. Any flashed glass should be useable for sandblasting and slumping. Wasser, being so thin, may reqire a lower pressure blast, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Brock
