New Glass Packs and Free Shipping Changes


GLASSGLASS
AAEGlass

Well we are recovered from the holidays...Are you?

We are introducing some new scrap pack glass to our website tomorrow.  We have had numerous requests from artists wondering how Tanya Veit comes up with her background colors.  She has sand, water, sunset etc.  This will be your chance to purchase the glass colors that Tanya uses.  She has hand picked this glass as if she was going to use it herself.  We hope you enjoy!  Here are some examples GALLERY

As we add more and especially heavier items, we have to amend our shipping policy.  Free shipping will still be offered for the near future, but the minimums will be increased to $60 domestic and $100 international.  We still provide same day shipping.  This will help us to serve you better and thank you for your understanding..

We have also restocked several silver settings and we have some new ones on the way next week.  We have many new projects and inventory to offer you in 2011 and we hope you enjoy them.

Here is wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 

We have been able to meet and work with so many up and coming glass artists this year.  We truly feel honored that you chose us to learn from.  We strive to help glass artists anyway we can.  We remember how frustrating those times could be, but we also remember how satisfying and happy the hard work we put in made us.  We encourage you to keep up with your medium and learn from your experiences.  That knowledge will be priceless in the future.

As always, our email is open to help you. info@aaeglass.com will get you a timely response to any question you may have regarding your glass work.  We also love to hear any ideas you may have as far as new products that you would find useful in your work. 

Lastly, we have developed a whole new way to use our glass fusing decals and will be releasing more information in January. I can only say you will "flip" when you see this. 

We also had several requests for the glass combination that Tanya uses is her pieces. IE: sand, water, mountain...You will have a chance to purchase this all together in a convenient pack. 

We will keep bringing you new ideas and products that we have found useful.  By doing this, we will be able to share with you, what works and what doesn't. 

Merry Christmas

Firsing Instructions for Fused Glass


 
 
Fused Glass Decal Firing Instructions

Application Instructions:

1. Clean the glass surface where the decal will go.

2. Remove any wax paper barrier, if any, from the decal surface.

3. If desired, cut decal to desired shape using xacto knife or scissors.

4. Soak the decal in a shallow pan of warm water until they easily slide off the paper. It is easier to apply decal directly from the paper to the glass piece. Leaving them in water too long will result in them floating off the base paper and it will be difficult to apply.

5. Use a paper towel to blot excess water and gently smooth out any wrinkles or air bubbles. If air bubbles are not gently rubbed out, a tiny hole will pop through the decal when fired.

6. Change water frequently after soaking several decals to remove impurities.

7. ALL MOISTURE MUST BE REMOVED PRIOR TO FIRING. OVERNIGHT DRYING IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

8. Decals go on your FINISHED, fire polished piece. DO NOT cap the decals with a top glass layer. Decal firing is the last step to your piece.

Firing Instructions:

Preheating is particularly important in decal work. Materials from the medium on the decal must be burned off gently. Good ventilation allow for a clean final product. Leave the kiln lid open 1-2 inches, plus any peepholes. Preheat slowly to 1000 degrees to prevent pinholes or blisters and then procede with normal ramping. Heat-soak the decals at top temperature for approximately 8-10 minutes. THE FIRING SCHEDULES PROVIDED ARE FOR A REFERENCE POINT ONLY! GET TO KNOW YOUR KILN AND TAKE NOTES!

Need additional assistance? Email us at info@aaeglass.com with any questions you may have. Remember, it is always better to under fire than over fire!


Low-fire schedule

250 DPH to 350 HOLD 20 minutes

500 DPH to 1000 HOLD 10 minutes

AFAP to 1034-1074 soak 8-10 minutes
