That looks like it's for fusing. I'm not familiar with that particular powder, but have used copper oxide to get blue bubbled areas in fused glass. Not to say you couldn't try it, but there are other ways to get bubbles.
Seeded rod, scratching rods, very fine brass shavings, poking holes in your base before encasing...I'm sure there are more but those are the ones I can think of right now.

I've never done it, but I believe some people roll it in baking (powder? soda?) and encase to make bubbles too. I'm sure there must be a thread on using it, just don't have time to look right now, sorry.

You want to use bicarbonate of soda .... sprinkle a small amount on a marker. Make a small base bead roll in the bicarb. . (You only want a little on there) and encase
