Hi all,

I've made a discovery!

The sharpie oil based paint marker stays put as you cut the glass using a Taurus ring saw.

No more vanishing lines.

All you need to do is wait 5 minutes for the marking to dry.

Have a look at the attached phone. It even stays put after you've cut it! (remove with a hard green plastic scrubbing sponge)

Pete

Interesting phone, which end do you speak into? :D

Thanks for the tip, Pete. Did you buy it in Oz? Jen

If you don't clean off the marks and then fire the glass, the marks will disappear except for some place where it really ruins the design...
