Thanks, Bert. (Thought I'd replied to this but apparently not). I've sent some questions to Sean Weirs who has already sent me some info. I'm awaiting his response to my questions. Jen

On this old thread: http://www.warmglass.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4491&hilit=Ring+mottle&start=20 it seems that ring mottles lose their distinctive pattern at fusing temps. Can anyone tell me if they will stand painting and firing temps, please, without losing the mottles? I have a ...

Gorgeous, Don. Just found this thread and love your new direction, ( not that your other work isn't stunning just amazed that this is float). More please.......Jen

Good point Peter. I'll ask that question. This will be in a lightbox, not in UV exposure but should check that. Thank you.

Yep, that's the product I had already found that on the Ferro website and the one the local person spoke about. I looked up the company he referred me to but couldn't see it on their site so I'll give them a call. Thanks for clarifying that, Bert. I thought it odd that he didn't know of it. I'll let...

It seems as though your economy is picking up so let's hope the gallery situation changes soon. Jen

Thanks Bert. I'll look forward to that, meanwhile I'll follow up on an Australian company recommended by Ferro here.
I do have the name correct, do I? Or is it something similar? Jen

Ferro Oz in now on the job.......

Thanks David. I'm trying to avoid fusing temps as I'm also painting and firing and want to keep the weight down. Cynthia suggested the BE frits, too. Those suggestions would no doubt work but I'm trying not to complicate it too much because of the size of the job and the timeframe.That's why the low...

Peter, that’s too risky for me to rely on for the solution as I’ve had overfired glass go wavy and who know what colour changes might happen to art glass not meant for high temps. Given the square footage and the time constraints I’m dealing with I want to take the fewest risks possible. So much can...

Made a couple of samples, but not the look I'm after and definitely too risky for my liking. The instruction sheet packed with it said to wear plastic gloves and didn't mention any type of neutralizer. That sent up a warning flare but I pressed on cautiously, with latex gloves, face mask and safety ...

Bert, thank you for that. I’ll look into Frosted Spectravue and Satin Etch. Unfortunately I don’t have time to do any extensive experimenting and will first have to obtain the product. As it’s the weekend I can’t contact Ferro Australia till Monday. I have downloaded some of their info about methods...

I'm looking for a white that can be selectively applied to 'veil' the back of some art glass pieces to be leaded up into panels. As they will be backlit it will be necessary to diffuse the light source. I don't want to use an acrylic sheet behind them or sandblast them as the panels will be leaded. ...

Speak to him about that please, and thank him for clarifying that. Good point about it having to have an orifice. Nothing worse than a constipated AB. Further reading reveals the exciting news that tips and orifices, as suspected, are matched as small, medium or large. As for the second wine fridge....

Thank you, Kevin, Cynthia and Peter. Kevin, I note your advice and plan to set up the booth before doing any airbrushing. ‘Booth’ is a rather grand name for what will probably be a large sturdy appliance carton with cut-outs for air, filtration media and and an extractor fan. I had been saving a win...

What is the recommended nozzle size for airbrushing enamels etc. on glass, please? I've done a search on the board . Lots of info on media, safety, but nothing I could find on nozzle/tip size. Look forward to some input. Thanks, Jen

Good idea Mark. I have some shallow wood trays with flanges on the side which came from a glass studio in Ireland. They slid into a rack and were used for holding painted glass while awaiting its turn in the kiln. I don't have the rack they slid into but while looking for something similar I came ac...

Jerry, when I had a large floor-model belt sander I used oil, sprayed on from an aerosol can, instead of water; much less messy in an enclosed environment. I now have the Covington benchtop model on a rolling cart, with a water dripfeed from a three litre plastic juice container, to the built-in wat...

Depending on what you mainly do you may find it better to have two narrow tables that clamp together to form one large surface. I like the narrow (30"x 72") tables that allow easy access from both sides but appreciate being able to clamp two together for a 60" wide layout space. Both ...

jcrowe, thanks for the MSDS. The product Green Diamond is not available in Australia so I didn't mention that in my query, but thank you for the MSDS. It will be useful to compare its components with the other products that are available here. Bert, thank you for that clarification. I'll get back to...
