This thicker version of the regular GlasTac has a “tackier" feel but still burns out cleanly.

• Holds its applied shape well (you can also apply it with a paintbrush)
• Makes calligraphic powder lines easy
• Stays sticky longer (more working time before it dries)
• Tacks sheet to sheet with great holding power so you can move projects sooner
• Great for children’s projects

100ml Bottle of Glass Cutting Oil.

This oil can be used in any type of oil filled glass cutter or you can use it to dip your cutter in before making a score. If you don't have an oil filled cutter then simply soak a sponge with the oil and keep it in a jar, you can then run your cutter over the sponge before making a score. When you use oil with your glass cutter it works by filling in the score that your cutter has made. Glass is actually a semi-liquid material and the oil helps to stop the score closing over which makes breaking the glass much easier. The oil also extends your cutting wheel life and helps prevents small glass particles clogging up the wheel.

The oil is supplied in a secure plastic bottle with a screw on cap. We also supply a seperate screw on nozzle for ease of use.

Supplied in a plastic gripseal bag.

This shelf primer is used for coating kiln shelves and moulds before firing to prevent the glass sticking to the surface. Hot glass will stick to most ceramic or metal surfaces and crack as it cools, unless prevented by a separator such as shelf primer.

Each batch is kiln tested to ensure consistency from run to run.

MIXING
Mix 1 part shelf primer powder to 5 parts (by volume) water. Stir the mix frequently during application. Each bag will coat approximately thirty 20" x 20" shelves when mixed 1 part primer with 5 parts water, with the required 5 coats per shelf.

APPLICATION
Use five coats of primer on a new shelf or mould and also on subsequent applications. Apply the shelf primer with a wide, natural bristle brush, a Haik brush is ideal for this. Brush in one direction, then at a 90 degree angle, and then diagonally, applying as uniformly as possible. After applying five coats, dry the shelf or mould in your kiln at 260 degree C for 20 minutes. Take at least 30 minutes to bring ceramic moulds up to temperature, Mullite shelves can be fired up to temperature as fast as your kiln permits. Allow shelves and moulds to cool before use.
For steel, steep sided or non-porous moulds, the liquid shelf primer can be sprayed onto the mould. Heat the mould to 204 degree C in the kiln, then remove and spray the warm mould surface with primer until it no longer dries quickly. Reheat the mould and re-spray. Repeat this process until the mould surface is thoroughly covered with primer. Metal moulds with steep sides may require up to 10 applications. 

RE-USE
Depending on the temperature at which you fire a shelf or mould, you may or may not need to clean and re-prepare it before your next firing. If you are not firing over 704 degrees C then you can reuse shelves and slumping moulds many times without reapplying primer, providing the primer has not been scratched through.
If firing above 704 degrees C then the shelves and moulds will need to be cleaned and recoated before each use. Scrape off the old primer with a wide tile scraper - scraping rather than sanding reduces dust. To remove primer from a shaped surface use a scouring pad.

PRECAUTIONS
If you don't kiln dry your shelves you cannot be completely confident that they are thoroughly dry. Surfaces that feel dry to the touch may still hold moisture that can cause bubbles, glass sticking and breakages. 
Shelf primer is drying to the skin so wear thin rubber gloves to prevent chapping.
Avoid breathing shelf primer dust. Wear a respirator approved by NIOSH for dusts, and/or clean your shelves outdoors or with a good local ventilation system.

STORAGE
Keep the primer powder in a tightly closed container and store in a cool, dry place. Mixed, unused shelf primer will last for many weeks if kept covered.

The roll is 50cm wide and 1 metre long. Eco fibre paper works exactly the same way as standard ceramic fibre paper but feels less fibrous with fewer sharp 'prickles'. It cuts easily and cleanly with scissors or a knife. After firing the fibres have little strength, becoming 'fluffy' without changing shape. The fluffy nature of the Eco fibre paper means there is almost no dust, meaning less dust in the atmosphere and making the clean up easy. The amount of ceramic fibre in the Eco fibre paper is very much smaller than standard ceramic fibre paper making it more healthy to use. This is a one use paper and for a perfectly smooth bottom on your glass, should be used with a piece of thinfire paper between the fibre paper and your glass.

It can also be used for creating bas-relief texture and design in your work, simply cut to shape and place under your glass before fusing. Ideal also for creating jewellery - cut into thin strips and place between two pieces of glass to create preformed holes that run through your glass. This is also perfect for lining dams and using in the Stainless steel V formers.

This copper foil sheet measures 30cm x 20cm. This is a great way to add decorative elements to the surface or interior of your fused glass projects. It is easy to cut with scissors and can be placed on the top of your work or fused between 2 sheets of glass. Various colours can be achieved depending on the glass type and fusing temperature, it will change colour if exposed to the air whilst firing. Please note the nature of this thin copper foil means that the sheet is not smooth, but more crinkled.
