Why Choose Glacial’s Fusible Glass Bails?
These COE 96 glass bails are designed to fuse seamlessly onto your glass art, creating an elegant loop to which you can use to hang your piece. Drilling through finished glass is risky, time-intensive, and laborious. Save time by fusing these glass bails right onto your glass.
Our fusible glass bails are reliable, simple, and versatile to use. They fuse easily with any COE 96 glass, allowing you to focus on your craft instead of worrying about the logistics of displaying the final piece.
How to Use Precut Glass Bails
There are two main ways we recommend connecting one of these bails to your glass artwork:
- Place a small piece of glass (such as a glass dot, frit ball, or murrine) above the open gap of the bail such that the small piece of glass overlaps both your glass piece and the bail.
- OR for a hidden attachment, slide the bail under your work so that the edge overlaps the open gap side of the bail. This method is recommended for works that have two or more layers of 3mm glass.
Tips on Using the Bails
-
Only use these COE 96 bails on glass projects using COE glass! Fusing multiple glass elements with different COEs will cause cracks and ruin your artwork. If you are looking for COE 90 glass bails, click here to view our COE 90 fusible glass bails.
-
Make sure the slit side of the bail is facing the inside of your piece.
-
Bails can be used as design elements, not just hangers.
Firing Notes
-
Fuse to 1430°F-1470°F (775°C-800°C). (Fast firing - adjust lower for slower firings)
-
Avoid exceeding 1485°F to keep the bail hole open.
-
If firing above 1485°F, fire your work separately and attach the bail in a second firing.
-
If firing below 1430°F, fire the base and bail together at 1430°F or higher first, then proceed with lower temp firing.
