"Mike Firth" wrote in message et... Wow, an actual answer to the question.

Just use zinc or lead? Use whatever you want. Keep in mind that weather can play havoc on copper foiled work, zinc work or lead work. Copper foiled work can become dull and end up having a crusty buildup on the solder. Pretty much the same with lead. I've seen some zinc and copper came panels that appear to hold up pretty well. The copper came work gets a nice dark patina after a couple of years. If you keep the work clean and even keep a good coat of wax on it, it should look good for a long time. Mike, I agree; it's great that neoglassic actually responded with useful information. I may also follow your example and block brady and moonraker. Kerry |

Ya...but ya gotta admit that at times he's (Brady) about as humorous
as what's his name many years back who was selling all that 10 ton beveling equipment. I remember the rant that went back and forth on that and it lasted for months.

I have no concern for what you make - or quite apparently don't make. You've yet to provide any examples of anything you've done. Let go of your little pee-pee and try to focus on the question at hand. Are you telling us that the cheesy giftware on your website is your own production, or not? A simple "I made it" or "I bought it" will be sufficent. Dennis strictly adheres to the 10th step of Bull****er's Anonymous. " When I am caught in another lie, promptly change the subject or find someone else to blame." Why should I take your request seriously? I'll take that as "I bought this grotesque crap." Talk, talk, talk, talk. That's all you can do. If you even get serious about actually learning how to do glasswork, we do give classes. Stained glass, kilnforming, torchworking, casting, blowing. sandblasting, etc. Can you teach me how to solder a 12" bead in one second flat? I really want to know how to anneal a 3" thick casting in less than 3 hours, too. Got any pointers on how to keep the sun from sucking leaded windows right out of the house? Maybe I could get some business tips on how to sell products I don't own and sit on people's money for months at a time? Damn, you've got so much to offer that I wouldn't know where to begin. I can even teach you how to become a basement bandit and make a living selling your work. OK...I'll sign up as soon as you post the verifiable names of some of your many success stories. |

"Chemosabe" wrote in message I've now heard it all. Dennis is now an expert on sexuality. Perhaps you don't know it all...masturbating or having sex (either one) is good for the prostrate and has shown to help reduce the possibility of prostrate cancer. Of course, if your doing neither than that's probably why you're so uptight. Dennis has his head so far up his ass that his prostate and his adam's apple are siamese twins. |

"racing John" wrote in message ... Is it not a good idea to make outdoor stainglass out of copper foil? Just use zinc or lead? I've done all with no problems over 25 years. If you live long enough to see it, zinc breaks down and pits and corrodes terribly after 50-60 years or so. Skinny lead line copperfoil with no support or protection may literally fall apart. Lead with no support may buckle depending on the design. All will be fine in your lifetime if done properly. The real reason we use insulated glass as protection today, is that in the olden days oil was .05 cents a gallon, and we used to open our windows if it got too hot. Now that it's close to $3 a gallon, we don't like heat loss. -- JK Sinrod www.SinrodStudios.com www.MyConeyIslandMemories.com |

Lead lasts longer than zink imo, but it needs a good frame, like wood.
