Re: U.V.Lights

Hi Terry, It's nice seeing you on this board. I use a pocket purifier which sells in the $25.00 range. Glass suppliers have a different one they sell for around $75.00, My little purifier does the same thing.

Re: lettering fused into or onto glass

Geo, I never cover the decal it sits on top of the glass. You lose color intensity when you put a clear cap on it. Make sure your printer is set to the highest resolution. I let the decals dry at least over night, longer if possible. I work with system 96 glass, I go to 1380 and hold 20, kilns will ...

Re: Car wax and glass rags

Real (old fashioned) baby Diapers are far and away the best. The ones that Gerber sells through Walmart etc work fine, but the really old ones (like when I was a baby) are the best. If you look at what the guys who sell glass blanks to the award industry sell, you will see that they are Gerber baby...

On the flip side, I figure if I'm batting 1.000, I'm not pushing the envelope far enough. So some experiments just need to be run...and as long as I'm willing to accept some r...

Re: Black Transparent

Thanks Guy, I was up on their site and that is what I thought also, it does look like an opal. After thinking about it I will blow some black shards and use them over a clear, this way I will get the black I want and be able to control the transparency.
