Mark, Can't speak for the 5 min Epoxy but I used some West Systems for a tinted Faux Glass look once it Started to yellow in 3 months. Epoxy if I remember right has no UV protection at all. Been trying to get up there to meet you in person, but every time I am in your neighborhood it's either the We...

Jeff.. You can count on me being there with Bells on.. I have been wanting to meet you for some time since I only Live 40 miles from you. Already Marked on my Calendar.

Is that by the old Flying W ranch.

Mark & Danny As for the porcelain Cup.. Walmart Camping Section. $1.99 OHH "What a Bargain for you." I bought 10 so I have a Backup or 2 or 3 or 8. I am very pathetic when mixing my size.. I just heat it up with a Propane torch or when I get fancy a Single burner Propane Camp Stove. Bu...

One thing that was told to me was..get rid of the Stainless steel Mixing bowl and use a Porcelain coated cup to mix my size in.. It did seem to help.. I really don't know if that was the culprit or not but gilds have been clearer since I switched. I recently picked up 5 pounds of Powdered Gelatin th...

Thanks Eric.. Sometimes the obvious eludes me.. Been doing so much research that my head is about explode.

Looks like I will have to see it.. Just had a hard time breaking down to see it since the original was filmed here and the Cowboys a few years later. I had the pleasure of Meeting John Wayne during the filming of that one. Just didn't realize how important John Wayne was at that time since I was onl...

The Mica everyone is using for Acid/Mica is just Normal Mica found in rocks or in the ground.. right? Curious as I basically live in Micaville USA. The stuff is all over the place. I probably have a ton of it in mixed my driveway road base. Just didn't see a reason to order Mica from CA. if its the ...

Was going through all the old posts and I just Lucked out bought this book for $27... Once it gets here I will scan it to PDF so we can all share.

Congratulations. Very nice article. Now i see where you get all the experimental ideas from being a Chemistry Geek.

Most of those Prints are already available on CD from Dover Publications. I have about 100 Dover Books and they are great for reference and Ideas. I like Erik was a little Disturbed when I saw Pages from the Strongs Book of Design. Hopefully he cut up the reprint for those scans as I would kill anyo...

Ingrid, That ebay gold.. Yes I Keep about 1000 sheets on hand. It won't adhere to glass with water size but works very nice with Oil. It doesn't burnish out so I only use it on small letters on Glass for a different effect. It gives the look of carved Glass if you paint your borders first then do yo...

Thanks Everyone.. After Googling the right terms and a few Phone calls I did find a distributor in Denver that carries it in 55 gal drums and 4 Gallon Cases @$150 per case for 49% Strength. The Nice thing is they will Deliver it to my Door for $15. Since they come down here twice a month for the Pri...

Time to take the next step with glass. Can someone direct me to a source for the acid.. I tried Google and all I get is Janitorial supplies and the few I called had no idea. Thank You and Merry Christmas in advance.

That is Unbelievable . Man, I have a thousand Questions. But I'll leave it at One. The reason for Firing the paint?? Besides making it permanent does firing it for a lack of better terms "Stain The Glass" ? Still learning the Brilliant Cutting.. Have Mastered Taking a Large Piece of Glass ...

Please do.. I wold kill to see a step by step on some of Doug's Projects.

Great Job Dave.
That would make a great Dimensional Piece.

Leo,
Might try giving Rick Dolphens a Call.. He bought the rest of Rick Glawson's Inventory.. I picked up some varnish and a whole lot more from him at Correll's and Hueg's meet the first of the month.

Those are great.. I wonder if they light up like Reversed Lithopanes.

Wow Robare.. Those are very Reasonable priced.. For the amount of work that goes into them.

Anthony That is a very Interesting Idea. I'm not sure if you could get enough Powder mixed with the resin as to make it conduct a charge since the resin has to surround the powder to bond, That is something that I might have to try.. I have a few pounds of Bronze Powder for Cold Cast bronze. I just ...

LOL Roderick.. I know the feeling.. I have 9 Cakes still on my shelf.. Enough for, say 3 lifetimes.

But is nice to see that it can still be made if needed.

Anthony to expand on what Dave was Saying, Back in the 80s and 90s Most of those were Cast in polyurethane resin. There was a decent size company called Verlinden that did a lot of that casting in Europe. I think all they do now is Hobby Related Products. In my life before signs I had a Resin Castin...

Thanks,, I Soooo Wanted to get to that Class but I had spent my wad on the Danville Walldog meet this year so I just couldn't swing Noels class also..Hopefully NExt class they have and I can prepare a head of time. I will be at Dave Correll's and Bill Hueg's Class in November though. Post some pics ...

Just thought I would say hello as my first post on this forum.. HELLO... I sea lot of familiar faces/names along with not so Familiar. I Hope to get to know you better. I have a small Sign Shop in Canon City CO focusing on Dimensional Signage and Glass Work (Still working towards that mastery). I ha...
