I am looking for a Glass Clear material that can be used as a grout/joint(?) for a mosaic. The mosaic is made of small glass tiles so the material has to adhere to glass,(and wood). I have tried with an acrylic paste but it does not adhere very well to the glass, and during evaporation it looses to...

G'day all, I am trying something new, and get devit with this one particular type of slumping project, coming off 720oC / 1328oF or so, but only with this one recent project. Normally work with float, and coming off same programmes have no devit problems, but this is bottle glass. I don't crash...

I have been trying to find information about the (presumably European) "E" marks which are found on safety (laminated?, tempered?) glass used in vehicles. Some have E17, some E5 etc. I haven't been able to find a table explaining the differences, anyone know? (I hope that I haven't deviated...

I have a hollow glass head from Pier 1. I was originally going to mosaic it and turn it into a table lamp. But I have been thinking (belatedly) that there is no air holes for the heat to escape. I thought about drilling holes in the top of the head but that is where the glass is thickest...

Anybody know of a source for 3/16"? All I can find locally is 1/4" plate.

I found out today just how brief life is, and how odd it can be. Many people here have followed the trials and tribulations of Michael Robison. For those that don't read here often, Michael came in the group not all that long ago with a new energy and excitement for a craft he did 20 years...

Only Hormel knows for sure. A while back there was a thread here about who has a web site. I thought it was great to look at the few that were posted but I noticed that people don't post their site as a sig file. Am I wrong to post a link to my pics as a sig? I take it out when posting to ng's not...

I just bought a house with a basement, that has very little lighting and I am looking for recommendations. What is best, when working with Stained Glass. Flourescent, Incandescent or Halogen? Maybe, a combination? Any suggestions would be appreciated. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus...

I have some diamond drills and drill holes in to borosilicate glass ( round pipes ) but it takes an awful long time. The holes have a diameter of 1.4 mm

It's odd to call other posters bullies. We're just little words on a pc screen, just emails. Only one glassworker I know has ever posted to this group. I'm just another old turkey, doing glass by myself and knowing only a few others who do it. Once in a great while I may have an idea. Once in a...

Is their a way to "sand" down the sharp, rough edges of cut plate glass so that they're smooth? If there is a way to do it, what do you use and how do you go about doing it? Randy

My grandmother left me a porcelain figurine of a girl that she said was made by Meissen circa 1795. Can any of you identify it? http://urlxp.com/go/sjohnsonpic4

I was doing an onsite repair the other day and found that I needed a piece of Spectrum W100 that was bigger than what I had with me at the time. So I went to a local SG retail shop for what I needed. This particular store sells glass by the pound, not by the square foot....anyway, the price of...

I have experience in a number of different handcrafts. Glass work is my weakest. I live in an area with no glass recycling and would rather learn how to use this glass than carting to the land fill. I have a hand held propane torch, various files and other standard household tools, plus jewelry...
