Elmers All Purpose Glue Questions
if you thin out glue with water, does it still work as well as the regular glue?
i have elmers craft bond all purpose glue and i need it to be thinner. but im not sure if it will still work as well as it did before i thinned it.
I have done it before. It depends on how much thinner you want it. If you make it too runny, it won’t bond with even the simplest of materials. If you only add a little bit of water, (1 or 2 TBSP) it should work fine. Try adding just a little bit at a time till you reach a consistency you like.
How to Make a Pendant with Patterned Dichroic Glass
To begin you’re going to need the right tools. You are going to want a glass cutter, breaking shears, glass fusing glue, shelf primer, and fusing paper.
A good glass cutter to use is Toyo, it’s oil filled to give you clean cut and it stays sharp. There is more than one style available if you prefer a different grip.
Glass fusing glue is important to keep your work in position before firing it. The best type is either Glastac or Elmer’s fusing glue. Avoid using PVC, as it can cause problems when the glue burns off, reacting with the glass leaving marks though so it’s best to stick with purpose made glues.
Shelf primer is a powder that you mix with water to line the kiln shelf before it goes into the kiln. It stops the glass sticking to the shelf as the glass melts. Many artists prefer to use shelf paper instead. It’s less fuss and the underside of the glass usually comes out a lot smoother. When using either of these you must treat them with care. Use them with a dust-mask and be careful not to breathe in the dust.
When deciding which glass to use in your fusing project the key thing to keep in mind is compatibility of the glass. When you see fusing glass for sale you’ll see COE next to the title, e.g. 90COE, 104COE, etc. You can only use glass of the same COE. If you try and mix them up they’ll only shatter as the glass cools.
Dichroic glass typically comes in either clear or black backed. You’ll get slighlty different results for the pattern depending on which type you use. Clear tends to give the piece more depth and it can be more versatile, such as with layering on top of another piece of glass.
Make sure you cut the dichroic to shape. Cutting glass can be tricky to start with. Cut standing up and only go over the cut once. Don’t keep cutting at the same line because all it’ll do will splinter the glass and blunt the cutter. You must remember that if you use more than one layer of glass the coated sides of the pieces must not touch each other. They won’t fuse properly and you’ll just end up with a lump of glass in not done correctly.
Layer the glass on top of each other and fix into place with a small amount of glue. Then use clear for the top layer of glass. This should be a couple millimeters larger than the bottom layer, or the dichroic coating will seep out. Try adding an extra clear piece of glass of the same size as the bottom layers to give the finished pendant more depth.
