Mica powder vs. MOP powder?
Hi again everyone. I hope I'm not boring you with a million beginner questions. I was reading the CR Loo catalog & found MOP powder. Could this be used the same way as mica powder (as we did at John Studden's last week)?
Thanks,
Felix
Thanks,
Felix

first glass / gold design
Hi everyone. I think what you're about to see is a bit busy, but I wanted to show you what I had accomplished. There's nothing behind this, I just thought it'd be kinda cool to do a "lure" panel. Ok the outter border will be a very dark blue. The gold trim would be 23k mirror gold with mat...

blast cabinet brushes?
Hi everyone. I was wondering, how thick should the brushes for the blaster be? I was looking at the 5/16" brushes in mcmaster.com (page 1097) & the ones from sealeze.com. Will 5/16" be enough?
Thanks, Felix
Thanks, Felix

Mike's Step by Step Gold leaf art Panel?
Hi everyone. Mike, I was reading your article on the gold rush panel & was wondering: What's Tinning? Also, you said that after pouring a solution of gold you put a layer or 2 of silver mirroring solution. What is the purpose of the silver? Isn't the gold mirror like already? :? Thanks, Felix
