Earlier work with alkali silicates was extended. Time and temperature for originally melting the glass had little influence on bubble or foam formation. Water vapor in the furnace atmosphere lowered foaming temperature considerably. Mixed alkali glasses showed complex and unexpected behavior. Nucleation and growth of foam bubbles as well as foam stability are discussed.
