Instructable Wednesday: Sugar Glass

This week's Instructable is on making sugar glass, which is a technique you've most likely seen on those cooking competitions where they're making a sculpture and everything has to be made from an edible material. Sugar glass is also used in the movies and probably on stage when someone needs hitting over the head with a bottle. The author of the Instructable posted a video of this technique…



…which, as you can see, has a million and one uses around the home.

This particular Instructable, while full of information, admits that it glosses over the process of making a mould for shaping the glass. However, on step 5 he links to another instructable on Two Part Silicone Casting which will give you the information you need for that.

I was always fascinated by the sugar bottles and plate glass windows in the saloons on Gunsmoke! Once I heard that they were made of sugar, Dodge City (or wherever it was) became sort of a promised land for me. With guns. And women of ill repute. And James Arness.
