Does anybody know how to buy ethylene glycol without any dye in it. It is used to winterize RV's but comes with pink stuff mixed in. This place has all sorts of chemicals. They have about 47 billion different kinds of ethylene glycol. I don't know which is which or even if one will suit what you're...

Jack, you should turn it upside down, call it 'Snowboarder' and sell it for 3 times as much. Then turn to her and say, 'nyah, nyah, nyah'.

She sounds like a miserable person to be picking on that. Is she the kind who runs around looking at other people's work while making noises like 'humph'?

I bought some from him to do something a bit similar to what you're doing, only I wanted to fuse millefiori to the sheet glass for jewelry.

becca Keep at it. In 7 years you'll have mastered it. LOL Did you buy enamels already mixed with medium? If so, how much did they charge for them? You can thin those with water. You don't need medium to thin them, although if that works, fine. I started out mixing large quantities of enamels and me...

First 'real' gig and paint results

This is the results of the Thompson's screening and painting paints that I used yesterday. It's for my first 'real' commission piece. Well, money will change hands if approved. The guy says to me 'she's turning 21, likes pastel colors and I have X amount of dollars.' I hope he approves it anyway, I ...

Thanks Ron. I guess I was being a little too impatient. I was painting with a brush so it's thicker than screening. Nice paint though.

A-14

Anybody been using Thompsons A-14? I was using it today with the screening and painting paint and it seems like it's taking forever to dry. Probably because I have to slump this tray and be done by tomorrow. Any harm in firing it a bit wet?

Aha! I knew I was missing a simple solution. I had the pump in a bucket of water with a small flow, but never thought to raise the pump off the bottom of the bucket to recycle the water. :idea: Thanks!

Submersible pump solutions?

I may be missing something very obvious, but how do those of you with tiles saws with submersible pumps deal with the water issue? Keeping running water going is a huge waste and it seems like every few minutes I have to empty the pan and find a sloshing place for glass grit water. I only got it a f...

I recently used a tumble-vibe to get some stange devit crystals off of some cabs that I left in Lime-Away too long. It worked for that, and I tumbled them for about 4 hours a day for 3 days and 1 overnight out in the garage. I did it that way because I can't stand all the noise. Being gone or sleepi...

Here's some more. Maybe a little less expensive. Check out the square tubes 2x24. They're on sale for .99 each. http://www.jcdanczak.com/our_products/cat_7.html

They sell hanging caps too which may be a good storage option.
