Asphaltum method

[Jerry Berg]

Thanks guys. I have 2 pieces I'm getting ready to chip. Not too much of the area needs chipped, but I'm going to try both methods without asphaltum. One with mask, one without. I'll see what suits me best. Thanks Rod for bringing this thread back.

Well, I guess I'll go on then.

I calculate how much glue to mix up (3oz glue with 4-1/2oz water/sq.ft. of glass), heat it good and hot, then pour it over the glass surface, if it needs a little help covering the surface, I use a Glawson glue spreader. If the glass is level, it'll flow out to a uniform thickness.

I have read about the Glawson glue spreader, could you show me a picture please?

The panel chipped overnight and yielded what I call a "Coffee Bean" chip. I think I need to go with a little less glue which would yield more of a fern chip.



It's interesting that on the same panel, all flowed out at once, two of the rows yield a different chip pattern.
