Glass saw kicking my butt

Ok I need help. I have a wire saw and I think I might like it but I cant
keep the marks for my pattern on the glass long enough to get anything cut
out with out going nuts. I have even tried using spry mount to put the
pattern in the glass.
Any ideas would be welcome.
Thanks
Mouse

After you draw the line with a sharpie, coat it with vaseline, chapstick,
or a commercial product from the glass stores, called Mark-Stay.

I use a pen called Liquid Copper by Decocolor. Draw the lines and let it
dry. It works well.

My goodness....how much water does one of those wire saws sling around,
anyway?

I've been using Mark-Stay for years. Never had it fail.

I've also tried the paint pens in silver and white, but as soon as the
blade cut into the paint and water got under it, the whole line would pop
off.

A while back, Delphi sent me a sample of a white marker that looks like
"Liquid Paper". I haven't tried it yet, don't know if it would be any
better.

I use a sharpie on float glass with a 10" Diamond tile saw and it works for
me. As long as it's not a red sharpie. the blue or black hold alot better
than red. Make sure your glass doesn't have oil or grease on it. Actually a
grease marker is another thing we use.

well i guess it depends oh how well you know what you are doing some days I
sling alot of water and some days hardly any. I am still finding out how
much flow I need to keep the blade cool. I have had the saw for a year now
but just started using it. I wanted to make sure I had solid hand cutting
skils first.

Have used aluminum whenever I have a large
number of the same design. Works very well,
but I just never thought about gluing them down.
What did you use as an adhesive?

Hi,
I have heard of people making their patterns out
of thin aluminum (Think beer can) The claim was
with these glued down there was no problem plus
they a reusable.

Try TexPens by Marks-Tex it's even stay to 2000 degrees. My son worked for a
glass manufacturer and they use them for marking glass right out of the
ovens.

When I have to drill through glass, I make a mark on the "wrong" side of
glass
with the sharpie, then cover the mark with masking tape. When I turn the
glass
over to drill, not only is the mark not going anywhere, but the white tape
really makes the black sharpie pop out.

Works wonders for my eyes!
