We have used he Pyrex rod extensively in a project, we used our Diamond internaltional DL5000 just to make a little dent in the glass and then snap by hand. It works like a charm pretty well even at 45% angle.

We found that our Taurus saw was making too much of a large dent in it.

I tried to go down to 9 coat and my gold mica did sink in my dark background. I used a 230 mesh sysntehtic fi...

40 dollars Canadian including tax at Refrabec 1-450-449-5390

Mr Jutras is the contact. This is on the south shore of Montreal. Check the shipping cost but that comes to about 30.00 dollars US not 50.00.

Where are you located?


Good Luck

You see Charlie, I am old enough that computer did not exist when white liquid paper was invented.

If you want to use it on your computer screen, go right ahead but beware your hair might also start tuning white

Unique overlaze for copper

A while back I saw a tread about using the unique overglaze to keep the color of copper in a sandwich fusing.

I have used a water base with the reuches paint, I then sandwich between 2 layers at 1525 and the result was that my opaque paint faded way.The Reuches paint that I used was a 1250 recommended. However they also have a higher temperature paint for slumping. That might be better. If you use a oil bas...
