Anybody know what these are

[Blade]

I recieved them as part of a trade. They were with some other raw boro, so i figured I would check to see if anyone knew what they are. They are flat, and yellowish white.

Gun mounts.
Boro made for use in TV's

Most colors just fade to white.
Not worth breaking open old TV's for....

WHITE DWARF!!!!!!

J/K...DAMN, I wish I didn't know you so well Sean...I could of really had some fun with this...

They are gunmounts. Most is orosilicate compatible...sometimes, but basically just complete crap.

Unless anyone has any ingenius ideas, I'd just throw it away...lol.

I just sold 5 lbs of all colors to someone who has been making pendants out of them and I use them for fun things and I think they work fine. so it depends on how you heat them but we like them especially the Blue's and Yellow

[sunray]

They make great skate boards- of course crashed in a mud puddle LOL

Ah-ha! I knew there was a legitimate use out there somewhere!!!

[Greymatter Glass]

I got a sack of those somewhere. if you mix about 20 of them up together then really twist it (liike with a drill) you get a decent white.

By themselves there not all that. But the white gunmounts I got from craig (herbivore glass)
years ago where great to be incased. Not sure about the ones you got. But the ones I had when incased would produce a neat "sparkly" sheen color.( I guess a metallic sheen might be more accurate) Like what you would see on paint jobs on cars
Everyone seemed to love it when I was using it. Id give it a shot , if you dont get similar results , oh well.
Just make sure you have good ventilation when working gun mounts as they are pressed glass. So all the ingredients are not bonded to the glass matrix prior to you heating them up in the flame

Here's a good one - What to do with the scrap dichro from the JBD eBay auctions? You know, the stuff we all mistakenly bought at one point in time because "1lb of dichro chips is EXCITING!". I bought some in my first year, and once I knew what was up with dichro, I didn't want to even touch this stuff. It's scratched, chipped, powdery, and I was hesitant to even give it away, but BlueDevil insisted...lol...sorry Lee...you were just starting out too bro, I tried to warn you...lol.

So, any good ideas? Sure, you can use it in small pieces for pendants, but that would be cost effective, and I'm just looking for something wasteful and exciting!

[Blade]

maybe we can head up to abes, mix up you scrap dichro, my scrap dichro, the gun mounts, all of my atomic kumquat and flamingo, this box of scrap uboro i have, and our leftover volcano trees, pull it down into rod, and give it a name.
maybe, if we are lucky, it will come out as white dwarf!

You could use it to make a large marble, or maybe a large piece of boro "stained glass" that reads:

Just Bad Dichro

" What to do with the scrap dichro from the JBD eBay auctions?"

Flash it in the flame and glue it to stuff?
