Unfortunately Delphi no longer carries the thick glass bullets (.5-1 inch thinck). Delphi may be able to special order this type of item for you, please call our customer service department and speak directly to an associate.

We are sorry but Delphi does not sell back issues of Stained Glass News.

Help needed urgently I am pushed for time to complete two kitchen gabinet doors.  I have only 2 days left today and tommorrow. I will finish today with soldering the lead came joints. There will only be one day for the cementing and polishing.  What can I use instead of the cementing process? I normally make a mixture with zebo black polish mixed with terpentyne and putty to make up my cementing. Retha

Hi, where can I get thick glass so that I can etch the glass deeply.  I am looking for glass thats about a half of inch at about 1 square foot.  It can be acrylic also.  I didn't see any glass like this on your site but maybe I missed it.  If you don't have it, do you know where I can get some.

  How can I get a copy of back issues of Stained Glass News?

Hi You could either use hobby lead came for the edge or apply copper foil then tin the foil after being applied.    

I posted this in the System 96 section earlier instead of here in fusing--please excuse:) I just received my kiln this week and am new to fusing.  I did my first firing of some pendants and they seemed to have some sharp edges that will  need grinding  and lost all dimension.  They are still usable, but not the result I was looking for especially for the pieces with dichroic glass.    I did a full fuse.  Should I have done a tack fuse?  Also had quite a bit of kiln wash stick to the colored glass bases, but not the black or clear.  Is this normal?  I am using the System 96 glass and my Delphi Studio Pro Delux kiln.

Help, I am currently working on several Fan Lamps.  One has smooth edges and a few have jagged edges.  what do I use to finish off the lamps?  how do I finish the borders?  any suggestions will help. Thanks in advanced

The wash away kit doesn't work as well on pieces with heavy kiln wash stuck on them.  It does give the glass a frosted/etched look at times if it cannot get the wash off.  You could also try to soak the glass in vinegar and water for a long period and then try the brush on it again.  If that still doesn't work, try the 975 degreee back magic on it, at least it will shine it up and make it look like you meant to do that!
