Hi Claudia... I've used Dymax 628 for 4 years now and have had no problems w/ metal to glass. If it is applied right, the metal will tear before the bond breaks. It will cure with uv light or an activator. I use the wipe on activator most often. It does have a shelf life...I buy it in a hypodermic c...

The Silberschnitt circle cutter is wonderful!!! It is not cheap but it is a pleasure to use. It is probably the cutter you saw demonstrated at BE,and is available from the BE Connection. The small and the large models of the Silberschnitt are worth the investment if you cut a lot of circles. Also,th...

Cutter's Mate
I have a student with carpal tunnel wrists and a weak back. She does mostly small jewelry. I think I remember some being helped by using the 'CuttersMate' system in combination with the Morton unit. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge to share before she invests in the tools.

Wet Belt Sander...CRL GL4W
It is time for me to get serious about getting a large wbs. CRLaurence has the models discussed in the previous threads...the GL4W model (4"x106") at CRL has not been mentioned and looks interesting. I have only used much smaller Covingtons and need some advice. 1. is a built-in roller pla...

A black sharpie pen can be used as a resist. Draw a positive or negative design on the dichroic with a good black sharpie. apply the etch cream wash in water and it works! The catch is to experimennt with the amount of time that the etch cream is left on. Depending on the dichroic, the strength of t...
