Hi! I have glass tubes filled with liquid CO2 at high pressure and need to make it safe in case the tube explodes. Currently I put it in a protective polycarbonate tube, but I'm worried the PC might not last long enough. Some of the tubes might be in use for 100+ years. They are meant to be viewed...

HI Folks My usual weapon of choice is a temperature-controlled Weller 100W iron - which works very well for tiffany-style suncatchers, tealights and so on. Recently, I've been getting more commissions for copper-foil-based window / door panels - with correspondingly longer seams to be...

In a search for glass etching and specifically, sand carving type discussions. I cleared all old messages. Do such sand blasting and sandcarving discussions take place here? -- Steve Barker

"David Smith" wrote in message ... Other than running a torch, or supplying a furnace, can anyone come up with another use for a supply of oxygen? Life support.

Does anybody know which chemicals to use or mix for achieving black, copper and bronze patina for solder?

We have plastics, they don't break so easily and are much harder and better than glass. Glass is oldfashioned and nobody needs it anymore!

I've just posted some Spectrum 96 2"x4" pieces on eBay. I use 90 COE exclusively now, and carrying these around is getting silly. I've also put a number of nice big Wasser old formula metallic gold in one auction at a very good price! See the auctions (3 days)...

A few years ago I saw a glass crafter simultaneously cutting multiple pieces for lamp panels. It appeared that he'd laminated several layers of glass together and was cutting them with a saw. At the time I wasn't interested in this technique, so I didn't question him, and, of course, I've long...

Now that we beat up old Dennis Brady pretty good, I thought I'd ask you how you're enjoying that tape? I thought it would be better shot in SP instead of EP, or better yet DVD, but hey you can't argue the content vs the quality, huh? -- JK Sinrod Sinrod Stained Glass...

Don't need anything artistic. I just want to permanently mark levels on a glass jar to use for measuring. Item will be hand-washed reasonably carefully. I just want to know what to look for and where to find it. TIA

Hi folks, I plan on using some wood pieces (cut to the same thickness as glass) mixed in with regular glass pieces in some panels. Any ideas about whatever I can put on the wood so they'll stay untouched while cleaning and puttying. Something I can peel off when it's finished, maybe Mactac, some...

I want to get into doing some sand blasting and am looking for some equipment. I could just start with a basic gun with a pickup tube if I knew what kind to get, but would consider a full system with a pressure tank if the price was right. Looking for some advice. Thank you. Ron

This isn't a stained glass project, but uses some of the same materials. I'm hoping that this group can confirm whether I'm on the right track. I have an image on a clear decal that I am putting between two pieces of 4x6 glass (project for my mom's church). I want to have a dark metal border...

Greetings, All - I've recently seen samples of a zinc border came that I'd like to use, but I have no idea where it came from, who manufactures it, etc. Instead of the usual "U" shape, this zinc has a profile best described as a "2" with an elongated (almost 1/2") tail. The intended purpose is...

I am making a glass craft that I think would catch on great but I need opinions. I made a website advertising what I am making. Please take a look and give me your thoughts. Thanks http://web.tampabay.rr.com/fdny2001/lights/ --

Hi All I am looking for a kiln for glass fusing but can not seem to find the sort that I have used before. Dose anybody know the name? The ones that seem to be available are top loading kilns. Where you have to reach in to put the items inside the kiln. The one I am looking for looks upside down it...

WOW that tape was great! What professional production values. The acting and directing was first class. -- JK Sinrod Sinrod Stained Glass Studios www.sinrodstudios.com Coney Island Memories www.sinrodstudios.com/coneymemories

can anybody shed any light or hands on experience?? what is best buy for belts?? 1" vs. 2" ? thks bg

I have a Taurus saw. I like it. I like the advantage of being able to cut in any direction. The blades aren't cheap though, usually in the $80 range. I search on stained glass supply sites and order from the cheapest one. They are "supposed" to last 100 cut hours. I think the longest mine have...
