how can i make glass? where can i buy the ingredients.?
glass is made of a sillicous material like sand and a flux; pearlash, nitre, sea salt, red lead, borax, wood ashes. if lead is used it is used in the state of red lead. my question is where can i obtain these materials. obviously i can find sand. but where can i find all those others. preferabely pearlash. could i just use wood ashes to make glass? thats what pealash is......it is ashes from potash. but could i use some other wood ashes.....like oak, pine, cedar. i would just like to know where i can obtain all those things. the most important are red lead, pearlash, and nitre (pottasium nitrate). also potash and borax. i have enough heat to make the glass and i will be able to have these ingredients groud to a powder.
I used to work in a glass factory, you might remember eating baby food out of our jars?
Anyway, it's not hard.
First you need a furnace capable of 4,000 degrees, we used natural gas as a fuel, about 1,000,000 cubic feet per hour or something close to that.
Then you get the rail road to bring in say, 10 cars, each containing 100 tons, of quartz sand and potash etc.
Then you mix it all together and viola! you got glass!
.
Of course you can do smaller batches yourself.

Type : glass making in the little box,
wait no more then 5 seconds and VIOLA! You got glass!
