  • Can the TKOR foundry melt glass? Join The King of Random and Veritasium melting glass in a metal foundry. This Random Happens features a collaboration melting dr pepper soda bottles. The glass bottle is set in a hot fire and cast in a mold made from dirt. Here’s a hot twist on some cool tricks on how to melt glass using a foundry. In this foundry experiment, Grant Thompson takes glass and bottles to the foundry to see what happens. What do you think will happen?
    This melting glass project is also great for those wanting to know how to do other cool things with a foundry: foundry project, melting with foundry, glass melting, how to melt glass, glass recycling, melting glass at home, recycling glass, how to melt glass bottles at home, how to recycle glass at home, melting metal, DIY foundry, homemade foundry melting, glass casting, science projects and more!
    If you’re looking to try something new or for an activity such as: DIY foundry project, melting glass, melting fidget spinners experiment, cool science experiments, fun weekend project, metal experiment, STEM project, STEM research, or just a fun project with the family, watch the video to learn more.

    i think a smaller crucible with broken up glass will get a better flow,plus make sure its clean of other materials.i really like how you had two propane tanks heating it up,unfortunately i think it might have created an excess because there wasnt enough glass to keep hold of the tempature to keep it liquid because of the extra space in the oversized crucible.

    Maybe try having a metal pan on a grill to keeo it warm then get a blowpipe to blow the glass and use the pan or something else to shape it and hopefully the grill will keep it warm enough to take shape and not solidify. You could also try having someone with a blowtorch on the glass itself to keep it heated. I wanna see you make somethin outta glass its got me excited!

    You should melt down some glass and then try casting some molten metal on top of it (or vice versa if the glass is less dense) before either solidifies. I'm pretty sure this is how they used to make highly accurate flat surfaces.

    I make neon signs which entails heating glass tubing to a softening point in various burners to bend it to shape. The burners used are either natural gas or LPG and air which is more than enough to melt soft glasses but not quite enough for borosilicate.

    We used a normal Bunsen burner to draw out glass tube to make a pipette in our chemistry lessons, so I knew that a gas fuelled kiln would be able to melt glass. I was a bit disappointed that Veritassium didn’t figure the whole thing out beforehand. Someone with an engineering degree should be able to look up the melting point of glass, the expected temperature that a kiln would achieve and come prepared. But maybe he just wanted to keep it random!

    Glass can only be molded at very high temperatures. It completely melts/liquifies at approximately 1400 °C to 1600 °C depending on the composition of glass. Glass is made from a variety of substances, depending on the intent of use. Mostly sand, lime and soda are what most glasses are made of.
