Title: Bottle stoppers for fusing
Post by: elburnzo on July 21, 2010, 05:03:18 PM
Hi does anyone know of anywhere I could get these? its the bottle stoppers with the flat round or oval etc pads for attaching fused glass on to.
I liked the ones Tuffnells have started selling for beads but my beads arent quite up to scratch to make into anything! Thought i might make some fused glass ones as wee pressies for christmas!

I've been looking since your last post in the other thread (not heard of them and thought it was a grand idea!) but so far only found US Sites:

I think things just take a time to filter through - I know Warm Glass stock other Anraaku items, so we might see these in future!

Not sure if these will be any good for you, they are what the wood turners use.
