Hmmm can't you just make the stuff from any regular powder? It is probably just an additive to the powder like borax or some such, right?

Why not check this out? http://www.glass-fusing-made-easy.com/baking-soda.html

The author also suggests borax-- but to get a pretty blue? Dunno.

What does this look like??

Try adding some copper

Try adding some copper "dust" from filing -- that may give you the blue.
