    Here are a few thoughts. If you are going to use the glass with PMC,
    use Bullseye 1401.50. Otherwise, you can use Bullseye 1101.50. If you
    are going for a dome, and I don't know whatr size, keep in mind that
    when slumping a piece of glass over a mold the corners will fold and
    it will be difficult to make a symetrical dome shape. 

    You could use some fiber board, hollow out the shape you want, and
    then melt (cast) the clear glass into the mold shape. Here the
    problem is that the edge of the dome touching the fiber board will
    not be as smooth as the "free" edge. 

    I would be happy to continue this discussion on-line. Contact me at

Happy New Year
