  3. Smalts substitutes

    Hi again. I've heard people discuss substitutes for black glass smalts for large surfaces. Blackbeauty grit for one... Has any one ever tried a copper slag grit called Ebonygrit? It's described as "lustrous black" and comes in a coarse 3.5 ml. And I would love to hear your prefered...
  4. Hand drawn & lettered

    Very nice clean work Craig! Great craftsmanship. I think "Why paint" is a legit question though....I'm sure that in person the handlettered quality is more evident than in the photos. But from the pictures it could be said, Why not vinyl? The font is nice, but doesn't suggest...

    oops then---didn't quite know how to add pic...just followed the prompts on this screen. Thanks for the advice. And Mikey Oh--I'll post a proper shot when it's done, and I have the photo protocol figured out :) --Mal .
  6. High relief Lighthouse

    Hi there. Need to make a very tall high relief lighthouse. I've done dimensional work in fast set cement on a lightweight armature, but would welcome any other suggestions regarding sculpting materials. Weight is my main concern. Thanks...Mal Offsite Picture Deleted..... Automated...
  7. I Heart my Ana Elite Plotter, but...

    You will find yourself saying, geeses it flew out and I cannot find it. Oh yeah. Did that when I took the wheels off to clean them. Lost one of those little buggers down into the works. I read the manual afterward, and they suggested taping over the slot so nothing falls in while...
  8. I Heart my Ana Elite Plotter, but...

    I Heart my Ana Elite Plotter, poor old baby. but...I need replacement parts. I saw the APD website, but can anyone out there tell me whether bearing assemblies are included with new pinch wheels? I think the clicking sound one of mine makes is possibly bearings. And for you extreme...
  9. Wet Application on Glass

    Hey there again. No retractions, nor regrets about my "i should have added" bit. Great group here in general, with only a tiny handful of gurus on gilded pedestals. Still think that if anyone takes the time to peck out a response, it should be useful and non-judgemental, even if the...
  10. Wet Application on Glass

    I should have added that the vast majority of posters here are reasonable, helpful and friendly. I just think that a PM sent to flame the OP for posing a question is out of line. That sort of thing makes people gun-shy, and if they hesitate to post their questions, whether seemingly...
  11. Wet Application on Glass

    I tried, but I just can't let this lie. Hi cap'n. Just a note to say thanks for bringing your experience with this forum to light. It's a useful tool, but I hesitate to post questions due to the handful of self styled 'gurus' here who use a simple query as a soapbox to further their...

  17. Paid with a cow.

    I like cows. My dad was a dairy farmer in Holland. I'd take a full, living cow in trade any day.
  18. Clear over artists acrylics?

    Just want to add that a clear should have UV inhibitors in it, or else some pigments, especially reds, will fade. I've used rustoleum brand Painter's Touch Clear Acrylic gloss. It's UV resistant, and here in canada its at Home Depot. It deepens the colours nicely. --mal
  19. Magnetics & double-sided tape

    Thanks for the rec's. I checked ebay and ordered some. I know there is adhesive magnetic sheet, but this is just to use up my scraps.
  20. Who has the best price on Gold Leaf?

    That Wright's price was phenomenal. I've bookmarked the page now, so thanks! I usually buy from a frame restorer here who gives me a good deal, but that's even better, at least while the CDN dollar is high. Anyone know their shipping costs to North America?---mal ps--anyone ever use the...
