You long-time bungians will remember my angst in making a stained glass Tiffany-style "8 little piggie" lampshade for a pig enthusist client. This was about 2 years ago. Well.....client is getting a divorce and wishes to sell the custom-designed piggie lampshade. IGGA members will recall that it's pictured on the back cover of the recent 2000 GlassPlanner issue of "Common Ground:GLASS" newsletter. It's a 25" wide round shape with 8 little piggies on it, piggie colors alternating pink tones/black&white Spectrum Baroque tones. Background is Armstrong grafitti glass (basic streaky white with little dots & streaks of various party type primary colors throughout). If interested, I think I still have a photo of it on my web site at www.igga.org/wood/ but it's probably the 3rd or 4th picture in my web site, so just page through until you reach it. If you are really, really interested in perhaps purchasing it, you can contact its owner at: Warren Silverman 18300 Osborne Ave., Willow Grove, PA 19090 phone 215-657-7309 Thanks. Christie A.

As the original enquirer has all the tools for mixing hardened putty, she also has the tools for making her own cement at a fraction of the cost of buying it in. The recipe follows: 7 parts whiting (or 6 parts whiting and 1 part plaster of Paris) 1 part boiled linseed oil 1 part mineral spirits (turpentine or other) 1-2 Tablespoons lamp black or other colorant Mix the dry parts reserving i/2 part for adjusting final consistency of mixture. Add the wet parts and mix together. After 5 minutes or even less, the whole will be mixed and of a barely pourable consistency. If it is too runny, add some of the reserved dry part to thicken; re-mix. Never, ever use Portland cement in your cement. Steve PS, I find mixing linseed oil with lead light cement, just extends the setting time; mineral spirits works better, in the cases where the whiting and linseed oil have separated. But if it is like a rock at the bottom, throw it away. It does not cost enough to be worth the effort of re-mixing.

You might also have to change some settings in the browser, whichever one you use, to get it to interact with your personal ISP ... they'll be able to tell you what to do, though.

For those of you who anwsered my questions about a month ago about all the windows I am doing for my house, it is coming along great. The bathroom window is half-way finished. They are two panels that are going to be vacumed between a dbl. pane, sliding left/right. I am doing a whale that is going across the whole thing it is in Spectrum, steel blue, and the background is also Spectum, dark amber. I just love it when you go through the whole process of designing, drawing, thinking, the whole creative process in general and then you fininsh it and bam!! You are in love with the piece and say, "Yes, Yes, Yes!!! Whoa Momma!!!". Now I have a question. The front window that I am doing I am going to something abstract with all of the beautiful pieces of glass that I have collected over the years. You know the ones that when you go to to "glass store" and there is that little piece of Bullseye light violet and ya just gotta have it... Well, back to the question. Last year on vacation in Almeria, Spain I picked up about 3 pounds of beach glass and I was wondering, has anyone ever used it in a panel? I am thinking about adding it to the panel on the front window if it is possible. If so please elaborate. Thanks alot!

Paper towels, terry cloth or a pair of old underwear, it just doesn't matter. The finish is durable and the difference is amazing.

As for reading, I have teen-age kids who seem to think that reading's something that was done in the Dark Ages. You know, the '60s and 70s? I'm terribly dismayed myself by the low level of literacy (spelling and grammar) I see on the web, not just in casual e-mail or in groups like this, but on what appear to be expensive, high-end web sites. I used to send notes suggesting that I'd clean up their site for a couple of bucks, but the defensive flames received in return made it not worth the candle. These days, I figure, "Their glasswork's probably phenomenally beautiful and they're not pretending to be Tolstoy or something!" Besides, I've got flaws of my own and I can give references who'll back me up on that. Albert - - - - - - - - - Watch out for the Honor Virus: 1. Delete all files on your hard disk. 2.

Scrubbing and scraping, instead? No, seriously, why not grab the hair dryer and play it on the wax whilst standing ready with a soft cloth or paper towel to wipe the wax off as it softens? The wax will melt long before any metal, solder or glass is affected by the heat IMHO.

This includes Dragonfly, Lily, and California Poppy The exhibit in in the visitor's center and runs through Oct. 31. So if you are in the Hartford CT area, you might want to check it out.

It's not a hazard as long as it's out of reach of the child, but the child should never be allowed to mouth the lead, and ideally shouldn't touch it. And a child in a household that does stained glass should be carefully kept out of the leadworking area so they can't put any solder bits or anything else in their mouths, and have the blood test for lead levels at their annual exams, just to be sure. And of course, parents should always wash their hands carefully after working with lead (like all of us should anyway!)

Basically I did what I'd do with Jax copper plating: used Bronzo (like steel wool only bronze) on a portion, wiped the little bits of the Bronzo off, put the patina on, rubbed another section, wiped it, Went back to the first section, wiped the patina off and rerubbed it, wiped it, applied another coat of patina, went to the next section, etc. So after it was all done I noticed that wherever I had opalescent, especially light carmel Spectrum and some unidentified pale to mint green, probably also Spectrum, little flecks of the Bronzo filings (which had turned brown) seemed to have welded themselves to the glass. That didn't happen to the transparent, wispy, or beveled sections (thank heaven for small favors). The glass was clean when I started - no wax. I tried Palmolive dish soap and a brush. I tried 99% alcohol. I tried classic Windex. I tried steel wool and all three liquids. I tried a razor blade. I just worked on three pieces for 15 minutes and it may be marginally better, but not much. If I do much more the patina will be gone, but the darned things will still be there. It won't matter so much since it is on the back, but I sure don't want the front to look like that! Should I have used steel wool instead of the Bronzo? Should I not have buffed the solder at all? Should I paint the Jax on with a Q-tip or an art brush, instead of having used a toothbrush, so I don't get any patina on the glass (won't that be fun)? I'd like to finish cleaning it , and tomorrow night flip it and start on the front, so any help you can give me will be appreciated.

But it's the lead-based paint that children *chew that causes the problems. And a suncatcher or window or kitchen cabinet insert made with lead or copper foil and lead-based solder ... or any object made with lead ... develops a darker surface that's lead oxide, at which point oxidation ceases and the lead is protected. Of course, too, so many people nowadays coat their finished work with wax that the lead is "encapsulated" and thus out of circulation. That's the same way lead-based paint can be treated: cover it with a coat of non-lead-based paint that meets the lead-free requirements and it's "encapsulated," removed from circulation, cut off from any contact with kids (or adults) and thus "safe." (This week.) 'Course, there are *lots of other sources of lead in the air, internal combustion engines for the most part, and even though that's better since the introduction of lead-free gasoline, not all vehicles are required to *use lead-free gasoline and some vehicles *can't (yet). But as I pointed out yesterday, anything that reduces lead in the environment, particularly kids' enviornment, is a Good Thing (to quote Martha). I'm wondering, though, why not obviate the whole question and get the stained glass thingamabob outta the kid's bedroom!?

I imagine there is a good number of us who do shows and would like ideas on shelters and also display props. I have an EZ-Up and while it is much better that the previous shelter it has drawbacks. It really requires a second person to get it up and it is light. It needs some sort of weight system to hold it in place on a windy day. The cost (with 4 side panels) was about $200. The sides hold to the frame with strips of velcro, not as secure as the zipper sides on some shelters.

The first section of the tape describes conventional torch & burner technologies and then describes surface mix technology. The second section is a demonstration of the full design and assembly of a medium-sized bench mounted surface mix torch, emphasizing the versatility of custom design. The third section demonstrates the design and building of a hand-held surface mix torch which adapts to a modified cutting torch assembly. The advantage of this hand held torch is that it uses no oxygen while idle. The use of this torch is then demonstrated providing even heat during the pulling of millifiori cane. All that is required to make these torches is a two small needle valves, some thin brass tubes and a handfull of threaded pipe fittings. The diameter of pipe and number of tubes used determines the volume of gas delivery and torch "size". The average cost is around $30 in parts per torch. The performance of these torches is not quite as good as the best commercial torches, but the flexibility of custom design and the low cost makes them an attractive alternative for those who like to cut costs, customize their workstations, or build their own gear. Please note: The videos that I have been producing are home-spun efforts and are not polished fancy video productions. The emphasis is on access to information, resources and technologies for hot glass work. I found video to be the best "delivery method" for this information. I have been building these torches for use in bead making classes and in my own studio, and thought the design and technology was worth sharing with the hot glass community. The length of the video is 1 hour and 15 minutes, and the cost is $28.00, I pay postage. Please pre-pay by international postal money order, bank draft or personal check. Mark Lauckner C-19 Bayview Drive Mayne Island, BC Canada V0N-2J0 Mark_Lauckner@gulfnet.pinc.com The next video is currently being produced. It is on the custom design and building of a tabletop bead kiln which pre-heats rods and has a pick-up plate "drawer" for preheating or reheating preassembled parts or decorations. The interior is also large enough to do small glass fusing projects (6-1/2" x 18"), but is mainly intended for bead annealing. The kiln draws 7 amps, can plug in anywhere, and contains no fiber products. This video should be ready within the next couple months. It was actually a great topic to include on the torch video, but there wasn't enough room on the tape for both projects.

Do any of you sign you artwork and how do you do that? I do panels for the most part and am beginning to sell them. With a marketing background, I know it would be good business to sign my pieces. I thought of going to Things Remembered - an engraving store - and getting a small name plate engraved with maybe the piece's name, my name and company name - then soldering it onto the piece. But what is appropriate - just my name? Dare I say a phone number? My next question/problem is this.... I have a project stuck in my head (you know- one of those that you actually think about how you would do it 24 hours a day) and need some guidance. I am in the process of designing an indoor fountain. I have a vision in my head of a three dimension stained glass tree with leaves. The fountain tubing would go up the trunk of the tree and then spray out the top of the tree like rain through the leaves. I don't want to mosaic the project because I want a light go through the entire piece plus a like seeing the different textures of glass. My question is this...in order to make this project I think I would build it like you would build a lamp - using a mold or something to lay the pieces on so that I could solder them together. I also want to control this mold/guide so that I can adjust the irregularity of the shape, because trees are very gnarly (do you like my terminology). Have any of you made a mold or guide like this and how did you do it? Also does anyone have any experience making fountains? Thank you for all your help!

[A lot of the members should be classified as "moms over the top" but its still a good organization.] Child development is a relatively unexplored field despite all the handwaving, bluster, and long uninformative pseudo-greek descriptors used by physicians and psychologists "active in the field". Workers in this field do not currently have a good theory to guide them. The few diagnostic tools and probes available give data of dubious quality and a reliable scientific/medical framework into which the data should fit is essentially non-existent. It is thought by many (including me) that increased exposure to certain metals (including lead) may be the main causative factor of the large increase of developmental disorders in children that has been noted in the last 2-3 decades in the western world. It is increasingly recognized that the increase is not simply due to increased awareness and testing. Something is causing this increase. That "something" is not yet clearly identified though work is in progress. We just received some info about candles that use metal wicks =85 that is to say, lead wicks. Candles with lead wicks put a lot of lead into the air, airborne lead in a readily absorbable form, hence into the lungs, and from there into the bloodstream. Using these kinds of candles is not a good idea. For more information, see : http://www.citizen.org/press/pr-sid29.htm Increased blood levels of lead (and other metals) have many undesirable effects in adults, well known to this particular group and therefore do not need to be elucidated further in this email. I already mentioned the relationship to child development disorders. However, there are a lot of artsy-craftsy folks on this mailing list likely to be either users of candles with metal wicks or manufacturers of them. Thus, I felt I should pass along this cautionary note. In my opinion ... if you have candles like this in your house =85 toss em =85 it ain't worth it. If you make candles like this =85 its time to stop making them. If you sell candles like this in your store, its time to discontinue that item. The US Congress is apparently considering legislation about these candles and a petition is circulating. If you are interested in participating in this petition, go to : http://www.cpsc.gov/businfo/frnotices/fr00/wicks.html Apparently a voluntary ban in the candle industry has been in effect for many years, but with little effect, hence the interest by many in making this ban mandated by law and the petition. Anyway =85.. best regards to all =85. Bob P.S. I don't wish to argue with or be flamed by any of the confrontational know-it-all yet uninformed and unqualified types I know to be on this list (such as, well, we know who you are) =85 therefore =85 Robert R.

Well, I just did a forty inch diameter copy of the rose window in the national cathedral. The real window must be about fifty feet in diameter and have in excess of 10,000 pieces. How was it done? Easy! The stone tracery work was painted in black and the colored glass portions were done with frit of the right colors, sizes and density broadcast in the general pattern of the window which had been broken down into 21 pieces that were fired and then leaded together. The real window must have several work years in it. The copy took about 60 hours of actual labor. Making really great butterflies this way seems to me the only way to go. With a bit of care on your part, people that know their butterflies should be able to name the butterfly species.

The best way to make really detailed and lifelike glass insects (and many other things too) is to use fuse using frit. To get an idea of how fantastic a job you can do, check out Roger Nachman's site -- many of his pieces are realistic insect forms that are then slumped over molds. Roger's work is often so realistic he identifies the work by the Latin name for the insects he depicts. The url is: http://www.nachmanglass.com/ Start with the "Sculptural Glass" part of the site. Another approach is to use glass painting techniques along with frit. Roger Thomas does this. His work runs the gamet from landscapes to abstracts to flora and fauna, but it also includes several very realistic pieces. Click on "Portfolio" from his home page: http://www.rogerthomasglass.com/ I shudder to think of trying to duplicate these pieces with traditional stained glass techniques (it's impossible!), but with a kiln it's just a matter of talent, experience, and inspiration.

You asked what the rest of us used as canopys for craft fairs. My canopy or tent was purchased at Orchard's Hardware store for about $98. It is a break-apart with aluminum rods and frame. It is rather easy to assemble and rather than try to peg the legs in the ground, I got some pvc pipe, angled it to fit the tent frame inside a large coffee can and then poured cement in the can. This was sufficient to raise the tent and easy to haul around. I don't do many craft shows anymore but I still use the coffee cans filled with cement and the pvc pipe for such things as garden stakes. Oh yes, the frame broke into smaller pieces and fit into a satchel.

DON'T USE BRONZO to buff your soldered foil with if you are going to use patina - at least the Jax Brown stuff. Even after wiping the surface to what I thought was clean, there were enough little tiny pieces which turned dark, and which seem to have bonded to any glass with an appreciable amount of white glass. That goes for wispy where a lot of white hits the surface, and opalescent, especially pastels, pale carmels, and, of course, white. Christie Wood suggested using SemiChrome, but that was the one thing I was not able to lay my hands on. I used 0000 steel wool and razor blades in conjunction with: 99% alcohol, original Windex, SoyGold, Pamolive dish soap, Neutra 5000 flux and patina remover, CJ's flux and patina remover, WD40, mineral spirits, and acetone. I used each alone with the steel wool and razor. No mixing or I probably wouldn't be here to tell about it. Nothing worked. And while we are on the subject of patina, I kept wondering why they called it "brown". "Dark lead" would have been a better description. I think the only brown glints were reflections off the brown glass. I suspect I could have achieved much the same effect if I'd smeared a bit of the putty used with came all over it and chased that with a sprinkle of whiting, and a lot quicker because it took about 4 applications in any one spot to achieve a good dark effect on 60/40 solder. I was afraid to try it, but I kept thinking if I could have mixed the brown half and half with black, I might have achieved more of the effect I was looking for. I would have liked a bit of red glints - more of a real brown, maroon effect. I wondered what would happen if I copper plated (Jax) or used Copper Bright, and then hit it with the brown or black - or put the copper on top of the patina. Is there a treatise on patinas? Has anyone made a systematic exploration of these sorts of things? Cec - who's jealous of Dorothy who will be in Connellsville Saturday, money or no money.

Like you put 3 coats of the Jax copper plate on (taking each one off) and then put on the Jax green several times...and finally end up with the right finished color.

The best way to make really detailed and lifelike glass insects (and many other things too) is to use fuse using frit. To get an idea of how fantastic a job you can do, check out Roger Nachman's site -- many of his pieces are realistic insect forms that are then slumped over molds. Roger's work is often so realistic he identifies the work by the Latin name for the insects he depicts. The url is: http://www.nachmanglass.com/ Start with the "Sculptural Glass" part of the site. Another approach is to use glass painting techniques along with frit. Roger Thomas does this. His work runs the gamet from landscapes to abstracts to flora and fauna, but it also includes several very realistic pieces. Click on "Portfolio" from his home page: http://www.rogerthomasglass.com/ I shudder to think of trying to duplicate these pieces with traditional stained glass techniques (it's impossible!), but with a kiln it's just a matter of talent, experience, and inspiration.

Cant remember if I ever did post the recipe's... still looking for Jim's post with the recipes, and better notes. ;o) Suzanne > From owner-glass Tue Aug 31 16:38:06 1999 > Return-Path: ..that said, he started by going over the scale of metal integrity Best on top...worst on bottom Bronze copper brass tin lead He suggests using 60/40 solder for the higher tin content. The metals with the highest integrity will take the patina the best. Most important thing to do is to use water soluable flux, wash was water and keep it clean. If water isnt enough use very fine steel wool (0000) after the steel wool, rinse. If that isnt enough use Jax metal cleaner. Joe uses a nylon brush to apply his patina. He uses and recommends Jax patinas. I asked him about a problem Ive had with patina flaking off and leaving base metal. He said it sounded like my patina was too strong, and to try watering it down a little (I havent had a chance to try it yet) He suggests using paste wax on black patina, never use polishing compound as it will take it off. When going for a brown patina dont mix your copper sulfate and black patina. ALWAYS LAYER your patina. Always rinse with water between applications. Always have SEPARATE labeled brushes for each patina. (another of my mistakes) Keep things clean, patina as soon as possible after finishing and rinse, rinse, rinse. Dont introduce other chemicals to your solder...dont use soap. You dont need to tin a brass vase cap. Brass is a metal of higher integrity and will take the patina better than the solder. If anything it just needs to be cleaned. Try Jax metal cleaner. Steel wool, rinse. He gave us recipes, will send those later. Sorry. Im just tired of typing. (I used up a lot of energy this weekend) :o) He was very helpful, knowledgable, and more than willing to answer any questions. -- Suzanne ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Choosing is only difficult ---- For subscription changes, please mail to: glass-request@bungi.com To send to the list, please mail to: glass@bungi.com Archives available at http://www.bungi.com/glass From owner-glass Thu Jun 15 19:03:14 2000 Return-Path: Received: by daver.bungi.com via smail with stdio id for rglass-42; Thu, 15 Jun 2000 18:07:06 -0700 (PDT) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #286 built 2000-Jun-14) X-Path: one.net!kleeman From: one.net!kleeman To: glass@bungi.com Content-Type: text/plain; Subject: Re: PS semi chrome polish Date: Thu Jun 15 18:06:37 2000 Message-ID: <1970Jan1.000.0> References: <<1970Jan1.000.0>> Organization: taylor'd Expressions Precedence: bulk http://taylordexpressions.safeshopper.com/101/cat101.htm?253 debbie kleeman@one.net 513. 870.9773 fax: 513.870.9785 Stampin' up!

I would say the Paragon GF 8B is a good starter kiln and an excellent choice. Being a 17" diameter,120 volt kiln it will fire somewhat slow which can be an advantage in a manual kiln. I have a 28", 240 volt, GF 12BD with a digital controller. Have used it for about ten years for thousands of firings and it is still going strong. I also have a Paragon digital pyrometer. The main advantage is that there are no misreadings by the observer. One slight disadvantage is that it requires a small power supply separately plugged in. If you buy a controller there is no need to buy a separate pyrometer.

When I was getting my BA in art, we had to do a 3-D design in plaster, which was very easy to create any design you wanted by building a wire armature, then covering with successive layers of plaster. You then would have a complete mold of what your fountain would look like. Of course, you'd have to mark your mold in half, and build your glass fountain only to that point, and take it off, doing the same for the other half, and then soldering the two halves together. Or if it is a complicated design, you'd have to make the fountain in more than two pieces. Or if you need to, the plaster mold could be cut into several parts, but I would tend to use the more expensive fiberglass so the edges wouldn't crumble as the plaster might if its cut into. The fiberglass mold would also be more permanent, if you're going to be building more than one.

Seems as though the 17" Paragon is about as big as you can go on 120 v, we have our 220 maxed out, and my husband is not at all interested in having another line put in. That is what I was originally drooling over, but if that kiln sitter really works, I'd settle for the 15 incher and the smaller kiln. Has any one used the kiln sitter? What do you think?

Gail in Nova Scotia< Gail, Are you in luck! I got my Paragon GF 8B in my studio a couple of weeks ago....brand spankin' new......and I love it. I purchased the analog pyrometer. It's almost as accurate as the digital, but I don't need critical accuracy with my bent-glass lampshade repair work. The needle of the pyrometer takes up the spy hole drilled into the side of the kiln, so if you want to peep into the kiln during firing you will have to drill another spy hole, or else learn to not peep into the kiln until it's reached a sufficiently high temperature to avoid stressing the glass. The heating elements are in the lid only on the GF 8B, so you have to have an asbestos-type glove for handling the lid and reaching into the kiln if you are going to do glass manipulation while the kiln is hot. The only suprise for me was that my kiln showed up with a commercial-grade prong on the electrical outlet...the kind with 3 metal prongs, one being the standard round one and the other 2 set up in a T configuration rather than parallel to each other. I had to rewire my electrical outlet to accept this type of high-voltage plug, but that was easy (thanks to the nice guy at Home Depot). It took 6 weeks from order date to delivery date.

I got an old wooden frame and was going to create an outside view. However, upon thinking about it, I decided that any window looking inside a wall would probably have a rather bizarre aspect, and the "bizarre" linked in my mind to Clarice Cliff's Bizarre Ware. She was the ultimate designer in Art Deco Pottery, so I adapted some of her teapots and plates to create a wonderfully bizarre Art Deco landscape. It's going to be stunning when I finish. However your possibilities are limitless: waterlilies a la Monet, seascapes, desert vistas, NE coastal fogs, some pale blue mirror with clouds sandblasted on the front, a mountain scene, a farmyard, a tangle of tree trunks, ad nauseum. You might even make it as a light box. I've also seen mirrors painted as though they were an English garden, and (this is a bit twee) real dried flowers in tiny pails or pots in front - attached to the window sill. Well done, all these things sell for a mint in home furnishing and gift stores. - Cec "Christie A.

Just the standard dremel tool is great but there are some things that you can add to the kit like the drill press for the dremel and the extension tool that makes it look like a dentists drill. I use mine with just about every bit imaginable but I especially like the diamond cut off wheels that I get at a tool dealer that fit it.they are great for cutting zinc. The cordless does not have the power of the electric cord dremel.I have both but really don't use the cordless much because of its lack of power.

Different bits for different purposes have different running speeds. Polishing bits are meant to run slower than bits for wood carving. Diamond engraving bits (metal/glass) should be run at a medium-high speed (I think). Cut-off wheels should be run at high speed ... and so on. Some models have speed presets on the body of the tool; generally allowing 5,000 to 30,000 rpm in 5,000 rpm increments. One can also use a foot controller (kind of like a sewing machine) allowing the same range but in a continuously variable range. FYI, Dremel is not the TYPE of tool, Dremel is a manufacturer (with a good marketing dept , though not as good as Xerox). Foredom is another manufacturer ... AFAIK, this is the one the pros use. Its a little more expensive, but is a tool for life. Rotozip is the latest rage in this type of tool. Its basically a standard high speed (30,000 rpm) cutting tool very similar to Dremel and Foredom except for the bits which have a patented downward sloping spiral cutting edge allowing what is essentially a drill bit to cut sideways. The glass people are not the ones to ask about this, rather ask the POWER WOOD CARVERS as this is their principal tool. Finally, it is essentially you protect your eyes while using one of these beasts. At 30,000 rpm, mistakes happen rapidly and ... well ... just pay attention to what you're doing. Good luck ......

It was a lot easier to work on the flat glass than to have to arrange my hand over an object. But you do run the risk of messing up the holder while assembling after you've done all the hard work of carefully etching your piece. If I were doing just a bit of easy freehand etching, I think that I'd do the assembly first then attempt the etching. I made a fairly detailed stencil with an exacto knife that was going to be difficult to do on a nonlevel surface.

I put those puppies to work, and wore them out pronto! Tomorrow..Im going for more. It's really wonderful for polishing. If it were up to me to pay for it, I'd still be using elbow grease, but my brother in law wanted to do this for me. (surprised me, but ok if he insists) And I have discovered all kinds of things it'll get used for. I dont anticipate cutting holes in glass...since Ive never needed to before, but I do like that I can cut zinc with it, and other metals, and I can polish, and sharpen tools etc... It came with lots of attachments, and also came with the flexable shaft extender, I think I'll get lots of use out of that.

I do not have the specs on Jen-Ken kilns but most glass kilns have a top firing temperature of about 1700'F. This is about 500'F short of most pottery firing temperatures.

I need input. I just finished a foiled panel and surrounded the panel in
zinc came.
I stained my lines black. I attempted to stain the zinc came with black
patina for lead
and it wouldn't take hardly at all. So I attempted to stain it with black
patina for lead.
It initially looked OK but as I cleaned it off it now is all blotchy. I
tried to stain it again
and it stripped the patina off. Now what? The border needs to show.

Is there a paint I can use that is a similar color to black lead lines??
HELP!

A couple of keys I've found: Patina for Zinc doesn't work. OK, at least not well. Patina for lead works better. The Zinc must be SCRUPULOUSLY clean. Zinc off the shelf just won't do. No sir, not at all. When you're cleaning your panel, scrub that Zinc. A stainless steel 'Pot-Scrubby' works best and doesn't contaminate the Zinc. After scrubbing I rinse & dry. I 'have' heard that minerals in the water will cause color variations in the patina on Zinc. Using something along the lines of a cotton swap (I use a tooth brush), dip it in the patina an 'blot' it onto the Zinc. Don't wipe and NEVER go back over where you've been. Let it dry. (Yeah, I know, but let it dry). You'll end up with a black powdery surface. Lightly wipe that off. You should end up with a fairly even and deep black surface. Wax it and be done with it. Begin Diatribe WHY!? The main active ingredients in a patina is an acid and a salt. Black for Lead is Nitric acid and Selenium Oxide. The acid for different patinas are of varying strength. The acid in black for Zinc is very mild compared to the acid for Lead. The acid 'prepares' the surface of the metal, opening up the crystalline structure. The salt then gets in there and reacts with the metal creating a thin layer of corrosion which is not Zinc and not the salt. It's black and generally pleasing. Like the nice green of a natural patina on copper. Different manufacturers add different 'secret' ingredients that control how the patina process takes place. They're also under the gun to produce a 'Consumer Friendly' product that won't kill you in the process. (Decreases repeat business ya know.) The strength of the acid determines the depth or thickness of this new layer. Stronger means deeper. Zinc is a relatively active metal. Eats away in an acid pretty readily. Lead is less active. More durable. That's why the acid for Zinc is mild. Which is why black patina for Zinc doesn't perform well. It's also why the patina for lead makes a nice deep black on Zinc. (Initially deeper than that even on Lead.) But it's also why when you reapply the Lead patina on Zinc it gets splotchy. The stronger acid reacts with the Zinc at the boundary layer between the Zinc and the patina. This causes the patina to release. There goes the black. It also leaves yet another layer which isn't Zinc or the same salt. It's not black. This layer is more durable than the old patina layer. You can put as much patina as you want and those splotches just won't take the patina. Your only hope there is to scrub it back down again and try it over. That physically removes that last 'bad' layer and prepares the surface for the second try. END Diatribe. Things to try: Warm the Zinc black patina. Will make it more active. Add table salt to the black to lead. Reputed to make a harder 'crusty' layer on Zinc. I've had no personal experience. That's all I know. And probably a little bit more... -G ----- Original Message ----- From: Lorley Oneyear To: Sent: Wednesday, June 28, 2000 1:22 PM Subject: patina > --=====================_3183040==_.ALT > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed > > I've always had that problem too.

After painting, firing and leading a glass panel together, the putty started to "stain" the glass while I was brushing it in ... it took quite a bit of cleaning to get the dark swipe marks off the glass, especially on the back, which was the side down on the kiln tray. Does anyone know if repeated firings will change the hardness of the glass or cause the structure of the glass to change? Is there any other reason the glass would absorb a "stain" from the putty? I use a mix of linseed oil, turp, whiting and lamp black to make my putty, and I've never had this happen with any leaded panel before.... Thanks so much for any input..

But evidently lots of it was sent to me only instead of the group so I am going to cut and paste my saved responses in. To those of you who sent this mail to me and have to read it again just "delete". To the others who wanted to see the responses I hope this is useful. Here goes....... Connie, I have a patina made by Canfield I think, that is 'black plating for zinc' (nope, it's Novacan).. it is old. you can also buff the c**p out of it with a 3m pad (or old scrubby) with the black patina on it and scrub buff it in... it takes some work, but it works.. sometimes you can put a little (a little in a little jar) salt in it and it helps it take. email me after to let me know if I helped .. Candy What I do is, use 0000 steel wool on it prior to applying patina. After applying patina...buff it with the brush you use on your lead. If you dont do lead construction, use a stiff bristled brush and buff it up. You might just try buffing it at this point. If that doesnt work, try the steel wool, patina, buff. good luck try #ooo steelwool and start allover again.use black patina for zink.there are some patinas on the market thar are not worth a dame . try making you owen. it is a lot cheaper that way. What I do is, use 0000 steel wool on it prior to applying patina. After applying patina...buff it with the brush you use on your lead. If you dont do lead construction, use a stiff bristled brush and buff it up. You might just try buffing it at this point. If that doesnt work, try the steel wool, patina, buff. good luck Suzanne Hi Connie! I've used black enamel spray paint from Walmart to achieve a real black zinc frame. I masked off the glass with several layers of newspaper and placed the panel on more newspaper and then sprayed one side. When it was dry I turned it over did the other side and finally checked to see that the bottom of the zinc was black, too. It worked for me and I liked the real shiney black finish. Hope this helps you! Nadine Hi Connie, Zinc can be a real bear to patina! This is the way I do it. 1. clean the zinc real well with a degreaser and dry. 2. use xxxx steel wool on the zinc. 3. use kem-o-pro on the zinc (this keeps it from oxidizing in the next couple of min. while you follow the next step) 4. use some wooden blocks or styrofoam to rais te entire piece up off your work surface. this way you can do both sides at the same time without getting those nasty drip marks. 5. put the patina on liberally. I sometimes let it air dry. 6. Wax and there you go. I have also just used plain old black spray paint. One of my customers told me that rifle blueing works great. I haven't tried it yet but as soon as I do I will tell everyone how it worked Thanks Skip Did you try black patina for solder, not black patina for lead? As a last resort....I would paint the zinc with metalic gunpowder colored hobbiest paint. Purchase a small amount at a hobby shop. It's the type of paint for doing detail work on metal & platic models such as airplanes, locomotives, etc. Christie A. Wood Connie, Classique makes a great patina that is just for zinc came. It goes on easily and does a great job. The best part is that is doesn't smear and come off when you clean your piece. There are other brands out there that do a good job, but I like Classique best. Moya Patina & Zinc are just a pain. A couple of keys I've found: Patina for Zinc doesn't work. OK, at least not well. Patina for lead works better. The Zinc must be SCRUPULOUSLY clean. Zinc off the shelf just won't do. No sir, not at all. When you're cleaning your panel, scrub that Zinc. A stainless steel 'Pot-Scrubby' works best and doesn't contaminate the Zinc. After scrubbing I rinse & dry. I 'have' heard that minerals in the water will cause color variations in the patina on Zinc. Using something along the lines of a cotton swap (I use a tooth brush), dip it in the patina an 'blot' it onto the Zinc. Don't wipe and NEVER go back over where you've been. Let it dry. (Yeah, I know, but let it dry). You'll end up with a black powdery surface. Lightly wipe that off. You should end up with a fairly even and deep black surface. Wax it and be done with it. Begin Diatribe WHY!? The main active ingredients in a patina is an acid and a salt. Black for Lead is Nitric acid and Selenium Oxide. The acid for different patinas are of varying strength. The acid in black for Zinc is very mild compared to the acid for Lead. The acid 'prepares' the surface of the metal, opening up the crystalline structure. The salt then gets in there and reacts with the metal creating a thin layer of corrosion which is not Zinc and not the salt. It's black and generally pleasing. Like the nice green of a natural patina on copper. Different manufacturers add different 'secret' ingredients that control how the patina process takes place. They're also under the gun to produce a 'Consumer Friendly' product that won't kill you in the process. (Decreases repeat business ya know.) The strength of the acid determines the depth or thickness of this new layer. Stronger means deeper. Zinc is a relatively active metal. Eats away in an acid pretty readily. Lead is less active. More durable. That's why the acid for Zinc is mild. Which is why black patina for Zinc doesn't perform well. It's also why the patina for lead makes a nice deep black on Zinc. (Initially deeper than that even on Lead.) But it's also why when you reapply the Lead patina on Zinc it gets splotchy. The stronger acid reacts with the Zinc at the boundary layer between the Zinc and the patina. This causes the patina to release. There goes the black. It also leaves yet another layer which isn't Zinc or the same salt. It's not black. This layer is more durable than the old patina layer. You can put as much patina as you want and those splotches just won't take the patina. Your only hope there is to scrub it back down again and try it over. That physically removes that last 'bad' layer and prepares the surface for the second try. END Diatribe. Things to try: Warm the Zinc black patina. Will make it more active. Add table salt to the black to lead. Reputed to make a harder 'crusty' layer on Zinc. I've had no personal experience. That's all I know. And probably a little bit more... -G Thanks again for all your help. Your a great group!

But with the putty, the panel is stronger in one special way.. it can take the slightest blow with flexibility..(the putty helps the panel move without breaking.) Try that on a foiled panel..(had one break on me, when I was a beginner, cuz I decided to foil instead of lead, for the same reason) Candy ps.
