Apparently the Chinese are coming with cheap product for fusing- we just received some samples from a wholesaler in the States, and cheap is definately the operative word here- price and quality wise.
Heck, but let's be honest here- the stuff could be made on the wings of angels and we still wouldn't consider it. The Bullesye Glass Company has earned and deserves our loyalty. They're the one who provide endless technical support. They're the one holding millions of dollars in inventory to guarantee speedy delivery (hey, where would we be if we needed to depend on our sole Canadian stained glass supplier for Bullseye?). They're the one running a department of 9 full-time technicians who test and teach seven days a week. They're the one working directly with hundreds of artists to stay on top of new methods and demands. And lastly, they're the one with Edward the Cat- I still weep every night over Lani's loss of that cat (I wish I could call him Ed, but that would be just too disrespectful).
We take receipt of a sizeable truckload mid-January. While the order has been submitted, we are open to anyone that might have some specific requests to add on.
All their new colours will be on this order (as they were on our last) as well as Tekta 3mm Clear and slumping molds. Go here to see the new stuff.

I'm still waiting for Lani to make the long-promised "Ed Memorial Glass" incorporating a certain glass component of the ash type.

SHAMELESS, Mikey - using a dead pet to hawk merchandise! (Ed is rolling over with glee)
Gary, give us a break. Good glass formulas aren't like software programs - they take THOUGHT. We'll get there.
Oooooo... "Good glass formulas aren't like software programs - they take THOUGHT" That Hurt! Oh well, what can I expect from someone who is currently vacationing in the anti-tropics, eh? Long lazy nights lazing on the beach...waking up at the crack of dawn at 10AM. Hunkering down as the sun sets at 10:30AM...
