Bubble Classic is the finest powder and tends to form large blisters with intense colors. Boreal Bubble is a coarser granule that produces smaller tiny bubbles that are bright in color.

DirectionsWearing your rubber gloves and face mask, merely spoon or sprinkle the powder onto a base piece of glass. The base piece of glass can be any preferred color. Cap the base piece with a clear glass and fire the glass to a fusing temperature.
