This is speaking of hot working. I've used silver leaf and
silver foil, picked up on a bubble. Some extremely cool
effects can occur. I picked up some copper leaf at the
same time. What the heck--it was cheap. However, I've
become convinced that it isn't really intended for hot
working, since it oxidizes entirely, even if it's
encased. In that case, it adds an interesting green
tint to the glass.

Perhaps I was misled by the fact that it was carried at
Olympic Color Rods into assuming it was for hot work.
Is it just intended for warm and cold applications?

Also, thanks for the suggestions in re. silver foil
sources. It seemed that there were a lot more sources
of strips than of sheets, which was what I wanted.
