I was checking out his site after the shock wore off. BTW I forgot to say that your work looks amazing as well!! Great work as always.

Hi Erik. I used starphire for the two projects that I asked for help on using the digital prints. That was my first time using it and I will say there is a big difference in optical quality. As Jess's video showed, you can clearly see the difference in the edge color and that clarity carries all the...

OH MY..... Roderick, you just made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I have not seen or heard that name in over 20 years, Bruce Jones!! Mr Jones made my first ever custom windsurfer a long time ago. I supplied the specs and the graphics and they turned my vision into my most favorite board ...

I know this is not the standard on this site but it was my biggest glass job to date...

Not my design, I just recreated it on the glass.

Hi meg. I just asked the same question not long ago and here is the link.....https://handletteringforum.com/forum ... f=2&t=2422

Hope this helps you too.

Jeff

SOLD!! I can't thank you enough Erik, you have been a great help with this and I now feel like I can give them what they want and also the durability too.

Jeff

So you think it is best to go with the digital print and possibly laminate it too?

Thank you Erik. Your answer does help a lot. I was going to post this over at letterville but for some strange reason I can not get past the log in page. Have you ever printed directly on the glass using a flatbed with UV pigmented ink? This seems to be the option that I am leaning towards but am ha...

Hi folks. It has been a long time since I have posted here but now I find myself in over my head and know of no where else to turn but the expertise of this forum. Please help! My questions are regarding a glass job. The job requires a digital print for the background on glass panels. The idea is to...

Jeff

Loctite, makes what you are looking for.

Hi Vance. I am no chipping expert as you guys are but I will share my experience with you. Living in Mich. it is usually humid. I get great chips in the winter months when the humidity is low around 10-20%. Summer months take forever. I have a breeze way that I do my chipping in. I use a small space...

Mike, I am laughing cause that is the sign/artical that I was thinking about getting ideas for upcomeing stuff! I will throw this out there cause I have not seen it other then a local woman that does this but won't tell me how. Now, I know there are light bases for glass. The local woman somehow use...

Tack free in 48 hours, completely cures in 5 to 7 days. The bond is extremely strong, retains its strength above or below the waterline.

Jeff

Hi all! I was thinking about how to do this and my brain has become blank. How would you have glue chip right up to sandblast etched with a nice sharp line? HMMMMM?

Jeff

Hi Raymond! In my foolings around with blasting tempered glass I have found that it is not so much the pressure at which you blast but the heat generated from it that causes most problems. Do not hang out in one area to long while you are blasting and Yes it will be timely to get get a nice even fro...

Hi all! This is not your usual software question but one that may shed some light, for a newbie such as myself. If you could, tell me what features your software has that YOU could not live without and why?

Program name:

feature 1;

feature 2;
etc....

Thank you in advance!
Jeff

Mike, I share many of the same thoughts that Jillbeans shared earlier. Feelings of being "woefully inadequate" to give advise and "intimidated by the sheer talent" here on this site. I don't even have the honor of saying that I am a sign painter by trade or a glass artisan. I sta...

So I am guessing that you poured the angel solution on. Would that be correct?

Jeff

Hi Larry!

Can you shed some light on the "hot glue dam" method? I am not aware of this.

Sob sob, my United sign was on its way to looking that nice. I just don't think it would of been done as quickly Looks awesome!!

Jeff

LOL!!! Thanks Mike!

Thanks for the kind words and the stories too. I was so nervous the whole time making it and so careful .....six mins after I declared it done.....pieces...lots of little pieces! Ha HA I love this stuff!! I have been trying to find the good out of the situation and me thinks that at least the first ...

Disaster!!!! With all things in life there are highs and lows. Today was a low for me. I had just finished, and i mean just finished, cleaning my first real sign (glass). It was gorgeous! I had set it in the window to see what it looked like with the light beaming through it and was getting ready to...

Hey Ron,
