trying again

Yep. I sandblast and coat with kilnwash while hot for best results

Yes. For years I have been exploring the idea of your view changing as you move around a piece. I love carving lenses, and adding carvings on the bottom really heightens things

This one is fairly small, about 4"x6"

Trying this again. New piece

Thanks Andy I will try that. Does the file size matter?

If anyone can tell me what I did wrong, let me know. I went to attachments, and added a file. It showed the file at the bottom but when I preview, all I see is my text. Tried drag/drop as well with the same result. Is there a size issue?

Thanks guys. Got the info straight from a rep who demoed at our glass assoc. I use it all the time

If you are not buying an extruded shelf that has been ground flat, it is a good idea to take a 24" level and inspect them. Most are made so quickly that a lot of them warp. I used to go in person, and sometimes have to sort through 30 to find 1 good one. Don't do it anymore as I use the extrude...

After having worked in China setting up a studio I can speak first hand at the difficulty. Almost impossible to buy unseen as they use western photos to show what you think you are ordering. There are good products and materials out there, but you have to go to them in person to be sure of what you ...

Better off with Loctite Hysol E-30cl. Uses a gun with mixing tube, so no guessing or mess. Made specifically to work with glass and metal. I have hung 21" round pieces 3/4" thick with just a dime size spot of glue on my hanger. 24 hour cure. All others mentioned I have tried and eventually...
