Bending Glass

I bent and twisted the glass today.

Tips:

  • Don't bent the glass back and forth. It will make glass break.
  • place the glass closely on the burner. It might take time if you place it too high.
  • wear goggles and gloves for your safety
  • Use two holders when ypu bend the glass

Science:

Glass is a visco-elastic material whose mechanical properties change very rapidly over a small temperature. so even though there isn't very high temperature. glass easily bends.
