Re: Too much chipping
My Rigid diamond blade is CP10P- labeled professional diamond tile saw blade. I'd like to know what blade you recommend. I can try to tighten it down and try cutting tomorrow. I do get a little chipping when cutting pattern bars. There is a little chip left on a piece. Imagine a small triangle stil...

Re: Sale of Spectrum
Heard story last week of small glass retailer who refused to sell 4 square feet of glass to a friend who wanted to do some more stained glass. Limit on purchases was 2 square feet due to the current supply turmoil. Two questions: will the person wanting the 4 square feet wait a year and finally get...

Re: Sale of Spectrum
they've been around for 25+ years and produce some stunning tiles. They are/were one of Spectrum's largest customers. I have total faith that they will do a great job in producing spectrum glass. Production is set to begin sometime in the first quarter of 2017.

Re: Great News from Spectrum!!
Good news for us.....is it good news for the locals around the new plant? Screen Shot 2016-09-23 at 11.53.20 AM.png Does Mexico have the same environmental standards as Washington? Under the NAFTA will Mexico be able to object if emissions from the operation will only conform to the twenty-year old...

Re: Spectrum Update
Why? Spectrum has always been good (actually great) in supporting artists, studios and retailers. I've always considered them friends in the industry.Judd wrote:"Your friends..."
Yeah... that always makes me nervous.

Re: New Bullseye Status
This is good news for glass, lets hope Urobouros is able to take advantage of the same deal. Just got notice from Bullseye, prices are going up 12.5% or something like that, starting August I believe. Guess we are all going to pay for it. Still better than no glass at all. Long live studio glass! I...

Re: SPECTRUM GLASS CLOSING DOWN
Third: I cannot fathom why the Oregon governor would shut down Bullseye and not Uroboros. The same unproven (and probably unfounded) allegations would weigh against them. High lead content in the air was detected in the playground next to Bullseye's factory. No where near Uroboros. The bigger quest...

Re: SPECTRUM GLASS CLOSING DOWN
I think a closer match to Spectrum than Uroboros is Wissmach. At least it is machine rolled not hand rolled like Uroboros is. Because of that, the sheet sizes are larger. Wissmach makes glass just like BE, Uro and Kokomo. They have 12 furnaces that make one sheet at a time unlike a continuous pour ...

Re: SPECTRUM GLASS CLOSING DOWN
A few questions for tony , brad and others: spruce pine spent a long time tooling up for 96 cullet then cancelled that plan. Why? And why does spectrum not move outside epa jurisdiction, north to Canada ? If there truly is a void in this necessary niche I may set up 96 production myself but it does...
