Where do I buy Foil and wire mesh
I am wondering where I can get gold and silver foil and silver mesh wire. Then a follow up, how do I use them. These would both be new techniques for me.
Thanks
Hillary

To buy from vendors here try:
Val Cox: www.valcoxfrit.com
Glass Diversions: www.glassdiversions.com
Howaco: www.howacoglass.com
Just a few, there are others. All these ship fast and have excellent customer service..

Rio Grande has the silver mesh. I get my foil from Frantz Art Glass. I don't use a respirator but I have a super good ventilation. Do a search here and you will find lots of info on using foil and wire.

That is a matter of debate.
Ventilation adequate for lampworking may not be adequate for fuming w/metals.
