It is easy and relatively cheap. No additional fees.

We still have plenty of non-course related information.

]I feel that the determining factor of crispness of etch on dichro (as animallover seems to want) is the masking accuracy, not the method of etch. Using a photo process creates highly accurate results and ultra crisp lines.
These were created using Armour Etch.

Thanks Bob,
and come on back animallover.

If you are using an etch to etch dichro on a pendant, it will not work on fired dichro. I use a lot of Armour etching creme but I would not use it to etch glass for a frosted effect. The etching is too inconsistent to get the frosted finish. I have little experience with the other cremes. If you wis...

The concept of starting at an angle is really for hand drilled small holes using a flexshaft or dremmel. This is done to prevent the bit from walking across the glass. It is not foolproof and only works a percentage of the time. To overcome this we use a ball bit for a starter hole and then drill wi...

I'm another Harbor Freight junky (some of it can be junk, but the cheapo drill press is not). I got mine several years ago on special for $39.99. Now their on special price is either 49.99 or 59.99. For Drill bits, try ebay seller LAU***. Yep that is their name. I by my small bits from them and they...

Great pieces Bob,

Your detail and especially the saturation are great.

We use a lot of that paper and fire in our small kiln (8x8) to 1410 on clear glass. Schedule is 0-1410 as fast a possible, hold 10...done. Note this is for 1 layer 2x2 pieces. In our large kiln we go to 1350, hold 10...done. I find it curious that they indicate a max of 1350. In our experience, if y...

Most interesting quote from their web site: "The Square Card Reader and Square Register apps require an internet connection at all times to function properly. This can be either in the form of a WiFi connection or a data service on your phone (such as 3G, 4G or EDGE). For security reasons, ther...

We have a class coming up and made up some new Pendants to demonstrate the techniques involved.

Terry,
You can use the knuckle buster to get the credit card imprint and then go home and manually enter the CC # into your square account.
I would never do a show and require check or cash. Most people don't carry much of either.

Hi, Carol,
I do belong to FB, but no "collect me" on the page.

Went to their site and can't find any technical information about firing schedules and such. BarryK is there with a PDF testimonial saying it's the best glass he's ever used, so maybe he can chime in with a suggested schedule or three. It does sound as if you trapped a bunch of air that blew out pr...

I mixed the powder with Ferro Flux and A-14 to get a screen printable paint.

I have a print gocco silkscreen printer. Which brand of enamel paint would you recommend? is it hard to silkscreen on the glass? The logo would not be more then 2X 2 inches. also does the print need to be capped with clear 96? Thanks for sharing your expert knowledge Catherine, Our Kaiser Glass pai...

I was one who commented negatively initially.
I am now a happy camper.
As far as I am concerned, square has its act together.

Question was asked on another furum and everyone answered no.

I just thought it might be possible.....small pieces....small stress nodes.

Nina was on the right track with the Bruce Baker comment. Get his tapes. I think everyone has missed the point here. "Pretty", "interesting" , or whatever they say, the important thing is that they said something!!!!!! That gives the artist the opportunity to converse with the (w...
