Default Fusing Boro? Boro Float Glass?

Does anyone know how well it would work to fuse boro? And I've heard you can get boro float glass, is that true? And where?

I have some really cool projects that I want to do, but I would have to fuse and slump boro.

Thanks for any help.

I've heard of float glass, but never boro float. Not to say it doesn't exist, but I've never heard of it. You could try looking it up on

The most common borosilicate sheet glass is sold as telescope mirror blanks or as wafers. Float glass is another thing all together - try searching for boro sheet rather than boro float. It's out there, but it won't be cheap.
