If you&rsquo;re still using old-school resistive heaters, you&rsquo;re basically paying to heat the air around your glass rather than the glass itself. It&rsquo;s a waste of money. We do things differently. We use shortwave infrared (IR) lamps to put that energy exactly where it belongs—inside the material.</p>
