Lisa Pavelka - Magic Glos - UV Curing - One Part Resin

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 18:05:12 -0500

$9.00
This resin is awesome! Magic-Glos is a one-part resin which cures in about 5-10 minutes in direct sunlight or under an ultraviolet light. Fabulous with bezel cups, scrabble tiles and polymer clay!

It's non-toxic and requires no mixing. It's odor-free. You get a crystal clear rock-hard finish. It can "dome" meaning you can get a rounded cabachon top finish if you apply it in multiple layers and cure each layer before applying the next. It will cure in about 5-15 minutes depending on the area and thickness of the layers. It cures once exposed to direct sunlight or under UV lighting using a 40-watt fluorescent black light (incandescent black lights don’t work) or 6 Watt or higher UV Lamp (like those used to harden nail finishes).

Photo paper, regular paper and fabric should be sealed first before applying Magic Glos. You can use clear packing tape, transparent shelf liner, laminating film or a coating of liquid polymer clay. (But not water-soluble sealers like decoupage mediums.)

It's mixable with glitters and resin colorants. And it's waterproof!

You get very few if any air bubble with Magic Glos. Air bubbles are easily removed by passing a direct heat source like a butane torch or embossing gun a few times over the gloss very quickly. (Do not over heat as this may burn clay or substrate surface).

It's a little more expensive than other one part resins out there but believe me - this stuff is the best!

Bottle contains 1 ounce Magic-Glos. Instruction sheet included.

I'm so sorry but because of postal regulations this item cannot ship internationally.

Diamond Tip Drill Bit for Drilling Holes in Glass / 2mm

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 01:37:42 -0500

$5.00
This diamond tipped stainless steel drill bit is great for drilling small holes in glass and ceramics. You can use it in a high speed drill like a Dremel or Foredom to make small 2.1 mm holes and also use it for carving and etching.

The best way to use this bit when drilling holes in glass is with a cordless Dremel. Put a piece of bubble wrap or foam in a small bowl, place your glass piece on the bubble wrap then add a little bit of water, just enough to cover the piece. The water will cool down the glass to avoid overheating and will also catch the glass dust. The bubble wrap will protect your bowl and table in case you drill too deeply. Hold the glass in the bowl with a couple fingers and hold the drill in your other hand. With the drill on, touch the drill to the glass at a 45 degree angle to start the hole then as soon as it bites into the glass straighten the drill to 90 degrees and pierce through the glass. Use a light touch with the drill. Tap the drill in and out of the hole while you drill- this will move water into the hole and flush out the glass debris. Be patient and gentle. Too much pressure and you will break your glass. Depending on the thickness of your glass piece, it might take 15 - 30 seconds to drill through. AND remember to wear your safety glasses!

I use these bits all the time and they work great!!! They do wear out so if you find that it's taking a really long time to drill a piece, it probably means it's time for a new bit.

Measures 2.1 mm wide and 76.2 mm long (3 inches)

(This width of copper foil works well with a single thickness of glass when doing copper foiled projects but you might find the 7/32" which is just a little bit wider, easier to work with when making microscope slide pendant art.)

Superior adhesive and very flexible.

36 yard roll (33m) - 3/16 inch wide (4.76mm) - 1.0 mil thick (0.025 mm)

The second picture shows a comparison of different sized copper foils and how they look when applied to 2 microscope slides (each 1mm thick) with a piece of paper in between. You'll notice how the wider copper foils give you a much wider border while the thinner foils give you a more delicate edge.

This aluminum marver has two sides - a flat side for smoothing out your handmade glass beads and a grooved side for adding patterns. You can use the grooved side to get three different textures - rolling straight across gives you straight lines, rolling on the diagonal creates a nice lengthwise design and rolling twice on the diagonal in opposing directions creates a fun diamond pattern. Measures 4" x 2 1/8". A great addition to your beading tool collection.
