cutting strip seems fine, and nothing else seems loose. Ill reach out, was hoping it was a quick and easy fix - guess not :omg:

hello all - hoping I can get some help. When I run a design thru the plotter on the right hand side of the design it seems to be cutting perfectly fine but when the blade goes to the left hand side it doesnt cut deep enough to cut thru the vinyl. It scores a very faint line but not enough to...

will do, just sandblasted a fresh new piece today so I can refine my technique - will be back with results!

I did another smaller test piece last night and accidently overheated the glue to 150 so used it anyway and its been drying all day. hopefully by the time I get home it will be chipping away like normal and thats the answer!

appreciate the thought - yes lots of variables which always make it tricky but been trying to keep it consistent - same glue used, same water ratio, same sandblast grit, same type of glass. I have an electronic temp gauge so get the glue to 120 deg. which is what i was told was the correct temp...

hah! yes it certainly takes a lot of time to get it right you are not wrong there.

no problem - this would be something similar - not my work btw. The glue chipping which I'm trying to achieve is the background texture. the glass could then backed up with gold leaf

funny you should say that because I did the idiot move of not cleaning the glass right after sandblasting. It came out just like shown in the photo. When i went to redo the piece and washed all the glue off I could feel the grit of the sandblaster so that was a definite not good start. So I...

appreciate it my friend! Im trying to do a process called glue chipping. In a nutshell: Sandblast the glass, pour animal hide glue on sandblasted areas, glue dries, glue rips up chunks of glass as it dries, reverse paint or gild with leaf, frame, hang on wall. Should be that simple but the...

Never used them myself - I generally use whom i have had no issues with for gilding https://www.goldenleafproducts.com/ they are priced a bit cheaper too. Not sure where you are located but most orders are shipped by the next business day. Orders shipped from Southern California generally take...

New to glue chipping and trying to get a decent chip on the glass. This is my second test peice - Got the glass sandblasted exact same way as i did previously which chipped fairly well but this time the glue just seemed to not do anything. it dried into tiny tiny little chips which give a...
