If yes, how what and where do i get the stuff? 2. do, as some in the archieves sugguest, and not crash cool? hard to beleive I'd never ...

It's only happened to me on the larger size bottles, the size you'd get for company. Can't read the size, but all of the rest in that slump were ok. Looks like you could rest a small hor dourves knife over it and it'd be pretty "kewl" 8)

When I was at Corning, one of the attendees there gave me one and only one tip for making a sink. "Get it die cut" was all she'd tell me about the many she's made. So, what is that? is that what anyone has described here????
Still baffled

what kind of paint is this?

what kind of paint g comes out this bright and clear? In particular on float or BE if possible. The murano vase painting was done on leaded
crystal. Would that have a dramatically different effect?
