These two types of burners generally have different applications, too: Air burner: glass beads, craftwork, sculpture, etc. Oxygen burners: accessories, vessels, scientific instruments, etc. As noted above, different types of glass have different levels of softness, which affects how the artist works with them: Soft glass: Glass with a COE of 130, which is lower than that of hard glass. In industrial products, glass up to about COE 80 is called ordinary glass. Hard glass: Glass with a coefficient of expansion (COE) of up to around 40, as typified by borosilicate glass. In glass crafts, glass with a COE of around 34 is used. Kokeshi Glass Pen is made using a technique called lace cane in which two or more pieces of glass are combined together.
