Spectrum Glass Fusible Shipment Arrives- Mikey's Relieved Hydro Approval Not Necessary

For those who might have missed the last twenty years (Mikey did- only he missed twenty years, twenty years ago) we've always been a big booster of Bullseye as an artglass and as the best source for fusible glass and accessories. Yes, we are a dealer for them (proudly), and yes we buy direct from them, and yes we cry over the deceased Ed the Cat and ease our sorrow and despair by partaking in some supreme single malt scotch, but we do those things because of merit (and loyalty- they really are just way too nice) and we will continue to support them and carry their product. As a matter of fact, if we were not a dealer and the largest supplier of Bullseye product in Canada, you wouldn’t have access to as wide a selection and at such low prices (see our editorializing earlier on the status of the Canadian supply chain).

But we’re not totally crazy (ok, I heard you- you can all stop laughing now); we do recognize the demands of the market and because of this we also carry Spectrum (boy, I hope Jim Matthews is reading this). While it’s very limited palette is a hindrance (actually now I hope Jim is not reading this), I know that price is often the determining factor when deciding between Bullseye and Spectrum. It’s inevitable- we just have to wait you out until you eventually realize the follies of your ways, come to your senses and convert to Bullseye, because you’ll have to. And you will for sure, because there will come a time when you’ll want to choose from over a dozen green cathedrals instead of just two.

To appease those of you who are just starting out, and to encourage more of you to try fusing, we are increasing our selection of Spectrum fusibles. We can’t do the same unfortunately with Bullseye. Oh, the horror you say, and why, we hear you ask? Because we already carry everything they make! I think that if we carry more Spectrum fusible, at a lower price point (and offer great yet inexpensive how-to courses, cheap access to our kilns ($5/day rental) and lots of technical support by way of advice, handouts and free projects/patterns, we’ll hook more of you to fusing and that can only be a good thing- for us, for Bullseye, and for you (and of course Jim and Lani and Dan and The Missus and the Oban West Highland Scotch Whiskey Distillery, but sadly too late for Ed the Cat).

So just the other day we got in a truck shipment from the States which included a significant amount of Spectrum fusibles. And boy I gotta tell you, I sure am relieved that we don’t need to get Hydro Approval on this glass! (see here for background). We’ve added another eight feet of rack just for Spectrum Fusible 96 Sale Squares, now bringing our sales racks to twenty linear feet or about 2000 sale squares! And our sale on sale squares also apply- namely, firstly (boy that sounded awkward) they are on average about 20-30% less than our regular racks, and if you buy 5, we’ll give you a sixth free, buy 9, get two free, buy 12, get three free… Pictures and some special sales on Spectrum Fusibles coming up- stay tuned here…
