I want to fire decals on to a shot glass up to 1386 Fahrenheit, will this ruin my shot glass?

Depending on it's composition, some glass will melt at temperatures as low as 500 °C (900 °F), others melt at 1650 °C (3180 °F)

I don't think so. Mirrors are first a piece of float glass that is made by melting glass in a puddle of molten tin inside of a kiln. The glass is then aluminized on the rear inside of a vacuum chamber. I've done a little work with glass, and I can't imagine doing a welded repair,which would then have to be ground and polished with a series of grits and then re-aluminized. I'm pretty sure it would be much cheaper to replace it, no matter how special a mirror it was. Sorry. BW, GH

There are different types and grades of glass. The figures I have are...
Lower quality glass melts at 1,500 °C, (or about 2,700°F), while top quality glass melting point is in excess of 2,300 °C, (or around 4,200 °F).
