Cullet and glass batch are totally different animals !=20
Glass batch is a blend of the raw materials that glass is made from. It =
needs to be fired and melted at temperatures from 2200 to 2600 degrees ( =
depending on type) to create the liquid glass.
Cullet is just glass. Crushed and sized, or broken chunks depending on =
source. Best to make your own, as other postings have suggested. Most =
commercial suppliers like to deal in large quantities. Some won't even =
bother with you if you want only 100 lbs...or less.
