Tools, Chemicals & Misc Fusings Supplies
Fusing Starter Kit Everything you need to get started fusing except the kiln and glass and at a discount. [Glass cutter, breaking pliers, gloves, safety glasses, fiber paper, kiln wash and more....] $80.00

Glass Cutter - Pistol Type Toyo or Fletcher. We don't recommend filling the reservoir with cutting oil. The oil leaks out and gets all over your work surface. You can replace the head for about $20 when needed. I've used the same cutter for 5 years without changing the head...... $32.00

Breaking Pliers Rubber covered tips. Used to run a score line or break off a small piece.  

$12.00

Bead Release - Air Dry Used to coat mandrels for making kiln fired or lampwork beads. You can also use Kiln wash but I prefer Bead Release.  

$8.50

Bead Reamer Set Set of 6 drill-bit-like reamers of 3 different sizes. Used to clean holes in beads.  

$7.00

Haik Brush For applying kiln wash to shelves

Specialty Mandrels A GO Exclusive Product! Do you have a small kiln? Can't find mandrels to use in it? Well, now you can! Our mandrels are the same quality stainless steel as longer mandrels but will fit into your smaller kiln (kiln shelves are 4" - 6" square). These mandrels are 5" long. You no longer have to settle for using fiber paper to make your bead/pendant channel! $6.00 for 10

Shelf Primer aka Kiln wash. Mix with water to coat shelves and/or mandrels.  

$15.00

Kiln Posts 1" You can stack shelves in the kiln with these posts or feet....you really need 3 or 4 of each size post to level a shelf.  

$2.00

Kiln Posts 2" ditto  

$2.00

Kiln Posts 3" ditto  

$2.00

Hire Fire Wire NiChrome wire you can fuse in place to make bail in pendants, earrings etc.. very strong after firing.  

$3.75

Terry Gloves Protect your hands when removing shelves from kilns. Not intended for long exposure to heat. Will burn.  

$5.00

Fiber Paper Used to make channels in pendants and making molds. We don't recommend using in place of kiln wash because it leaves a nasty texture.  

$6.00

per square ft.

Gold Pen After firing, write or draw on glass and then refire for beautiful gold accents. This is a felt tip type pen that is much easier to use then the gold that comes with a little brush or that weird little 'pen' with the cup at the bottom.  

$18.00

Morton Grid, Small This is the white grid I use and recommend. It has lost of small 1/2" square 'holes' in it that trap the itty bitty slivers of glass that are created during the cutting process. Without this grid, those little slivers wind up in your hands..... This is the smaller size grid and is 14" x 22"  

$14.00

Large Morton Grid This is the white grid I use and recommend. It has lost of small 1/2" square 'holes' in it that trap the itty bitty slivers of glass that are created during the cutting process. Without this grid, those little slivers wind up in your hands..... This is the larger size grid and is 2" x 31"  

$28.00

Portable Glass Studio This is the contraption that fits onto the Morton Grid and allows you to cut the same shapes and sizes over and over again. Not necessary for making one-of-a-kinds but if you want to do production work or just make your earrings match then this is the thing for you. I can't live without it. $58.00

 

Pliers for wire work

 

Set of 3 - Round nose, flat nose, needle nose $30.00
