Post by vance galliher »

I'm doing more LED lighted carved glasswork now and my glass of choice is Starphire, because of its optic clarity (low lead/low iron content) It is simply awesome when light hits the carved areas. But with the joy of discovery also comes the disappointment of the learning curve. If there is interest or information (maybe Pat Mackle) I'll follow up...........

Vance,
You KNOW I'm interested but very limited currently clearing the jobs blocking my way to Hayward.
I have been etching, carving and leafing more large scale Starphire panels this year.
Multi stage carving them via photoresist. Love to discuss more in the near future and learn how to
post pictures for viewing.
Back to it...

Pat

I would also be interested if anyone has experience with chipping.
