I'll try the pearl if that is what you recommend. After whatever glue I use, does the glue need heat or a colder atmosphere to dry. Would you recommend me leaving it under my bake lamp to dry. Thanks in advance for your assistant. I am amazed at your work

@@happygilder Thank you. By chance I met with a supplier of animal glues today and he explained that bone and hide glues are slightly different. Pearl refers to the form in which either is supplied. From what I understood from him you can get various grind sizes which are made by grinding the pearls which come directly from the manufacturing process before grinding. He explained that users were wanting something that will require less time to absorb water before it can be heated for use and so they started grinding it up. I have 2 different grinds to try from him and am looking forward to experimenting a little. I hope this may have helped you too. You have inspired me to try a completely new artform and am so grateful for your input via your channel.

@pirobot668beta 2 жыл бұрын

I've been doing loads of 3d-printing, and there is a 'forbidden' combination of printing materials and techniques that might be useful in chipping! PETG, a strong and durable printing material has a very strong bond with hot, clean glass. So much so, printing nerds know to coat the glass with glue-stick or hair-spray to moderate PETG's bond with the glass. If not, the PETG will chip the glass as it cools, just like hide-glue! The 'upside' is that this effect works only on mirror-smooth glass! No need for sand-blasting or etching to get the bond needed. Caveats: it can't do 'thin-line' work...areas smaller than a US quarter may not peel at all, and often time the peel won't get into sharp corners. A detailed print on glass won't chip exactly by the pattern...several 'passes' may be needed. I did one experiment where I arranged PETG filament scraps on a glass sheet, roasted (240 C/ 450 F) it in an oven to fully melt the plastic. As it cooled, the glass chipped precisely under the plastic and nowhere else! Experiment I need to do next: Print pattern on glass, roast in oven to fully fuse the PETG to the glass, see if detailed pattern chips glass on cooling... More work needed, but a quick web-search on 'PETG damages glass bed' can fill you in on the gory details. Good luck!

Hi Greg, that sounds awesome thanks for sharing! I had no idea about PETG and I reckon it'd be popular info on the Facebook group. Lots of the folks on there have 3D printers and various other high tech machines so all info is great!! Keep me updated on how your next experiment goes :D

You can definitely chip on a curved surface. The main thing to get right is the thickness of the glue. It sets relatively quickly so you'd have to keep revolving it to keep the coating even

@happygilder 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Dave, sorry to hear it’s not working out. The first thing I’d suggest is the brand and type of glue. Liberon Pearl glue dries and chips really quickly if it’s near a heat source. Rabbit skin glue or chipping glue can take weeks to chip. Another issue could be the glass you’re using. It won’t work on tempered/toughened glass as the glass is stronger than the glue. 12 hours is fine if it hasn’t started yet. Give it a couple of days and if nothing has happened, soak the glass in hot water and the glue will scrub off easily. I hope that helps

Would you glue chip float glass first then toughen it, with the possibility of it exploding in the oven due to the uneven thickness of the glass and its infinite number of sharp edges?
