It's odd to call other posters bullies. We're just little words on a pc screen, just emails. Only one glassworker I know has ever posted to this group. I'm just another old turkey, doing glass by myself and knowing only a few others who do it. Once in a great while I may have an idea. Once in a...

I have a repair to do that has some glass that looks like a cross between "seedy" and" "GNA". It has the bubbles like seedy, along with the lines like GNA or FNA has. I haven't been able to find anything like it, and my main local warehouse told me they thought it was a texture...

I was wondering if this was possible . I have a 9 3/8" bullseye ball slumping mold . What I would like to do is to fill the mold up with clear scrap glass and then fire it to cast the glass into the shape of the mold . I figure a fire at 1465 for 30 minutes would do the trick . Then fuse a circle...

I'm interested in several very colorful accent peices to set on some antique marble topped furniture. I found a store in Bethesda, MD called Fire & Ice that had some interesting stuff, but I'd really like to find someone's studio or shop I could browse around in. Vases, bowls, lamps, globular stuff...

Vicky Payne has been using a faux came on flat glass panels. Has an adhesive backing that you peel off and apply. Two questions: 1. Where can you get it? 2. Does it come in any other finish other than brass? --

I make furniture in wood and metal. Never worked glass before. There's a technique I'm keen to try which involves insetting "jewels" of glass into forged ironwork. You work the iron, hot-punch a hole into it maybe 1/2" across then fill it with a rough piece of scrap glass. Some work with an...

Does someone have any info on How can I create small air bubbles in glass , are there any chemicals I could use . Cheers Jason

Hi, I'm working on flat stained glass ornaments that have exposed glass edges. One way to finish these edges is to put on copper foil and solder, but I'm looking for other ways to get a nice-looking finished edge. Is there any kind of good, thick paint or enamel that will cover the edge and dry to...

Hi folks, I'd appreciate some words of wisdom on how best to package SG panels for shipping. Bart. tinnitus, custom compensated bridges, tabs, stained glass: www.haruteq.com **may your moments of need be met by moments of compassion**

Greetings, All - We're having a problem at the studio where I work, and it seems like the sort of thing someone here may have encountered. Our copper foil projects develop a white mold on the solder lines, sometimes very quickly (i.e., as soon as 36 hours) after they are completed, despite...

I have 2 stained glass windows in my house and although they seem sturdy and in fair to good shape I've noticed the metal work (came?) is turning white and/or corroding in spots. A closer look revealed that there is a coating (lead solder?) which is in good shape at all joints but the rest of the...

I have taken a job in Florida and am moving at the end of the month. I know some of you folks are in the Dallas area and could use some glass... I would like to reduce my inventory as much as possible so I don't have to crate and ship it to FL. I will sell at less than wholesale full sheets only....

My source of whiting dried up. My other source says it's made with limestone. The old one said calcium carbonate. Is this still the same stuff? Liam

Hi all, I am almost finished with a 16" x 72" panel - one piece, and I was wondering if I can solder and glaze one side, and then turn it over and solder and glaze the other side. Would that cause me some difficulties in the process? I know I need to reinforce this panel with rebar. Are two 16"...

Hi Everyone, I am selling Camel and Elephant Figure Perfume Bottles on my website at www.hoteimports.biz Just wanted to let everyone know!!!

For years now, I've only used the Weller 100w Pro iron with the Temp controlled tips. Yesterday, while working, one of the Wellers let out a huge spark and fireball while sitting in the iron holder. After letting it cool off, I found some small pin-holes in the big part of the barrel...
