We have used he Pyrex rod extensively in a project, we used our Diamond internaltional DL5000 just to make a little dent in the glass and then snap by hand. It works like a charm pretty well even at 45% angle.
We found that our Taurus saw was making too much of a large dent in it.

I have used A-14 from thomson with Mica and Silkcreen. It works very well but have to apply between 15 to 18 coat with drying time in between. Klyr fire is too liquid , not enough viscosity.

We actually use it to simulate a snow storm If you are looking for adding some bright clear looking white to your fused piece, you have to try it to believe it. What is in Liquid paper...

Unique overlaze for copper
A while back I saw a tread about using the unique overglaze to keep the color of copper in a sandwich fusing.
I have ordered the GC950 A and cannot make it work. Do I have the right one or is their a special way to apply it to have my copper looking piece

I have used a water base with the reuches paint, I then sandwich between 2 layers at 1525 and the result was that my opaque paint faded way.The Reuches paint that I used was a 1250 recommended. However they also have a higher temperature paint for slumping. That might be better. If you use a oil bas...
