Help me, please

Hello every body, I broke a piece on which I have worked a lot. Tough! I glued it together, and it is now being fused. It seems to me , that there remained a 'scar' a mark that shows that there was a break there, even though it is probably fixed now. My question is - Is it possible to do something t...

Re: WORKING WITH LIQUID ENAMELS OR GLASS PAINTS

Bert, Brad Walker is a person whose vast knowledge, and responsibility, and generosity in sharing - is something I can not even say how much I appreciate.... Of course his advises and experience is something I cherish and follow - almost with closed eyes. And this goes to Jody too. I asked you, beca...

Re: WORKING WITH LIQUID ENAMELS OR GLASS PAINTS

Thanks Bert,
A nice piece!
I must insist do you PRINT on the glass or paint on it???
I do not paint but PRINT. I believe it is different. And IF you print, has it happened to you that you fired a piece MORE THAN ONCE, with the print on it, and it was not harmed??? Ferro Samba?

THanks,

Re: WORKING WITH LIQUID ENAMELS OR GLASS PAINTS

Thanks, MANY THANKS, Bert and Brad Right now I am doing more wafers, kind of tentatively 'composed' [-not yet fused....] several pieces, and photo'ed them, so that I can decide what I do and HOW I do it. I plan on series, not on a single piece. Once the wafers are fused - I shall start considering p...

Re: WORKING WITH LIQUID ENAMELS OR GLASS PAINTS

Why would I not want to go to BE bulletin board??? Basically I have learnt SO MUCH on this board, that for me, any other board is only second to warmglass. If I really seek a responsible answer - my first address would be warmglass . however, I am privately on the mailing list of MORGANICA - Cynthia...

Re: WORKING WITH LIQUID ENAMELS OR GLASS PAINTS

No.
This is CREATIVE GLASS, who sold me. they probably import it, I guess.

However, I take very seriously your comments. printed them, to be put in my working notebook. Hopefully I'll run series of test this Shabbat.

Take care,
And thanks again.
This board is the best!!!

Re: WORKING WITH LIQUID ENAMELS OR GLASS PAINTS

Bert,
I think I have some Samba powders, which I also bought there.
I was told that I could mix it with BE powders, in order to enhance the BE colors, Do you know anything about it???


Thanks

Re: WORKING WITH LIQUID ENAMELS OR GLASS PAINTS

Thank you Bert, I bought Colorline paints from their manufacturer, who is CREATIVE GLASS in Volketswil Switzerland, near Zurich. Perhaps they have some agreement with BE -behind the curtains. I bought the paints directly form them, as I took several classes there. I know them, and they know me, they...

Re: WORKING WITH LIQUID ENAMELS OR GLASS PAINTS

Bert, Thanks for your response. However, I can not understand how do know that I am applying a too thick layer of ink????????????????? I wonder. On the contrary, being a printmaker, and my experience as such - I have the feel of how much ink should be applied. I do not know anything about Ferro colo...

Re: WORKING WITH LIQUID ENAMELS OR GLASS PAINTS

Thanks, Don for your response, and analysis of the situation. I wrote to the manufacturers of Colorline paints, sent them photos, and I am expecting their response. I think that perhaps it is time to look for alternative enamels. I want to combine in my work wafers AND prints, 'play' with them and b...

Re: WORKING WITH LIQUID ENAMELS OR GLASS PAINTS

I don't know anything about Colorline enamels. But If you eventually use Brad's sunshine enamels and have problems please describe: 1. Which medium was used. e.g. Pine oil, Water miscible medium, Klyrfyre etc I do not know, I got the enamels in liquid shape 2. Application method. I assume you are s...

Re: WORKING WITH LIQUID ENAMELS OR GLASS PAINTS

Some enamels have lead. Some enamels have cadmium or other elements, used to create the color, just as do pastels and oil paints. The Sunshine line is lead-based and the colors do have cadmium, etc. Other enamel lines may nor may not have lead, cadmium, etc. The advice to read the MSDS makes sense....
