Thankyou very much appreciate that. :)

Thankyou very much.

Hi Deni. The multicoloured ball chain is 3mm, thanks for watching and appreciate your comment. :)

@@TreasuryRoad thanks so much!!

Thankyou so much Donna, l like the information as well it helps me too when l need to do a project. Appreciate you watching and your comment. 😊

Thankyou I think they are cute and would make a great gift for yourself or a present. They are a PVC shape, if you go to my unboxing video did a couple of weeks ago it tells you more about them. czcams.com/video/yDZRN2obIhk/video.html

@@TreasuryRoad oh yay!! I missed it and will check it out. Thanks Peter!!

Thankyou so much. There are different grits of grinding heads or you may be pushing to hard, there are also different types of crockery and some are quite cheap and can flake or chip when grinding. If the crockery has crazing on the surface that can also cause chipping in the glaze when grinding. You could also use a hand diamond grinding pad for those times you just need to take the sharp edge off. Thanks for watching and appreciate your comment. :)

@@TreasuryRoad as always, thank you so much!! ☺️

Thankyou very much and appreciate you watching. 😊

Lol l hear this quite a bit, people buy it and then are afraid to use it. The funny thing is once they use it they think oh that was easier than l thought. Lol Water is key for removing it, if you feel a drag on the sponge when rubbing it off then you need more water. Let me know how you go. Thanks for watching and for your comment. 😊

Thankyou so much and thanks for watching. :)

Thankou so much, The epoxy grout is best when using ball chain especially of this size, its just so much easier to clean up in between the balls because the epoxy sculpt is quite thick. Yes I like saving the videos to refer back to as well. Thanks for watching and appreciate your comment. :)

Double thank you from the US. Just started mosaicing and was wondering why my ball/chain didn’t stick. More supplies.

@@diamondgirl5299 Why didn't your ball chain stick, what did you use? I was referring to the grouting differences in my previous comment. :)

Thanks so much Raelene, it was a fun project to do. Thanks for watching and appreciate your comment. :)

Thankyou so much Dianne and thanks for watching. :)

Yes I think they would make great presents, the back could be done but I think it would be a little heavy looking. Thanks for watching and appreciate the comment

Love it Peter...thank you ...another creation to add to my list to make 😃

You can change the colour of grout and thinset with coloured oxides or a good artists pigment. There are ratios to go by so its best to have a talk to your mosaic grout retailer that sells the colourants. Thanks for watching. :)

Thankyou very much and my pleasure. Thanks for watching. :)

Thankyou very much, they are fun to do and you can make them quite complex, its just I needed to produce quite a few so I took an easier way out. 😉 Appreciate you watching and your comment as well. :)

MAC Glue is no longer being made, the resin used in it is no longer being sourced so MAC are working on a new formula but no one knows when that will be released. You can use Prep MultiUse adhesive for GOG, its an Australian product but you can purchase it off Ebay or from Merlin Mosaica in Australia who ship internationally. If you are in the USA its quite cost effective to buy from Australia because of the $US being worth more. I consider MAC Glue to be the best for GOG but Prep is a good adhesive. Thanks for watching and appreciate the comment. :)

@@TreasuryRoad Do you like the Prep product as much as Mac? I want to do a long mosaic glass window.Thanks so much I will check with Merlin Mosaics. I was hoping to find an Amazon dealer

@@TreasuryRoad Could E600 be used successfully?

E6000 is not a good product to use for GOG, because of its curing it can cause cracking of the glass. Also its quite toxic and gives off harmful fumes that you would constantly be breathing in. Its okay for small projects like jewellery but definitely not for Glass On Glass. A number of people use GE Silicone 2? for GOG in the USA, I haven't and its not available here in Australia maybe worth checking out. Thanks for watching Patty. :)

Prep is a good adhesive but I still consider MAC to be the best for Glass On Glass. I also use it as a general adhesive as well, its clearer, dries quicker and is waterproof when FULLY cured. I have used MAC glue for over 10 years, it was designed by an artist and it is a lot thinner than other adhesives but that's a plus for GOG. :)

Thankyou Dee and my pleasure. :)

Thankyou very much Sue, I'm glad its helped you moving forward with your project. Appreciate the comment. :)

Thankyou so much Jean appreciate that. Try not to be afraid of grouting it can be fun and I'm sure you will be fine with it. Thanks for watching and for your comment. :)

Thankyou very much Sandra, I enjoy using mine its a very handy unit with a small footprint. Thanks for watching and appreciate the comment. :)

Thankyou very much, your necklaces are beautiful using antique china and l was pleased that you allowed me to show your gorgeous pieces in the video. I am glad the videos have helped you and it’s good to know you made a gazing ball, they are fun to make. Appreciate the support and for being a Treasury Road viewer and subscriber. ❤

The blades and parts are not cheap but it is a specialty item that comes into its own when needed. There are different blades available and they are specific to the brand of ring saw. I would suggest you do a search on the internet to find out the price differences in your country and these are likely to change, the Taurus parts are dearer over the Gryphon from what I have seen. Two of the main reasons why the blades fail is people push hard against the blade and don't allow the blade to do the work or/and they just keep water in the reservoir all the times. Thanks for watching and for your comment. :)

Thanks so much Wendy and I totally agree with your statement. I think if I was cutting cups I would just purchase a cheap wet saw, easier and cheaper. The height clearance would definitely be an issue on a ring saw for cutting cups, not only that the spare parts will be considerably more for the ring saws. It is an investment and the purchaser would want to make sure its going to be used, my one has come in handy however it hasn't been used a lot, some artists do use there's on a almost daily basis. The times I have used it has been very handy however its a lot of money sitting there not being used. Thanks for the comment and also for watching. :)

Thankyou very much Judy and thanks for watching. :)

Thankyou very much Sandra appreciate that, it’s a fun project to do. Thanks for watching its progression. 😊

Thanks so much Donna, they should make good fun projects for you to do. Thanks for watching and for your comment. :)

Thankyou very much and appreciate you subscribing to the channel. Glad you enjoyed the video. ❤

Thankyou and my pleasure Dee. The easiest way to judge the size is too order larger than the Tess you are using. Ball chain being round has a has a small surface area so if l am using say 3mm glass in my mosaic l will using around a 4 or 5mm ball chain. This allows the ball chain to sit proud of the Tess. The larger l go the more pronounced it will be in the mosaic. If l am working with a mixture of crockery and glass in a mosaic then l generally use the same formula but may increase to the next size of ball chain again, but in most cases the 4 or 5mm ball chain will be sufficient. If l am using Apoxie Sculpt to adhere the ball chain, l can also sit it in the Apoxie Scuplt so it sits a bit higher. To be more pronounced. I hope this helps you, 😊

@@TreasuryRoad Thank you so much for your time!

Thankyou so much June. Thinset is American terminology for cement based adhesive, this is what you need to ask for instead of thinset. Its available at Bunnings but I prefer to use the Laticrete brand which you can buy from tile stores or OzMosaics from their online store in QLD in smaller quantities. Mapei is another good brand just make sure its rated for the material that you are using and where its going because there are different types. Thanks for watching and for your comment. :)

Peter, thank you so much for your reply and information. Now I understand why I have been so confused😂. All a big learning curve, but we'll get there. 😅 Really appreciate your very informative videos. Thank again. 😊

My pleasure and apprecaite your kind thoughts. :)

Thankyou so much Tonya. I haven't made a video on storing tools, all my hands tools are just in a plastic box, keeps them all together and doesn't take up a lot of space. You can have them on a peg board if you have the room, I have done that with my garden tools. Thanks for watching and for your comment. :)

Thats just a safety knife I bought at the hardware store, readily available and there is a different range of them and sizes. Thanks for watching. :)

I agree Wendy the pot plant stakes would be a great present or to sell at markets or in shops, they should be fun to do. Thanks for watching and for the support appreciate it. :)

Thankyou so much Susan and thanks for watching. :)

LOL I think crockery does sound cooler than dishes as well. lol The Seabell Scissors are good to use and are quite handy. I think where the big difference will come into it is the plate itself, the compound nippers can make short work of harder plates and in some cases more accurate nipping. I would not be surprised if you have both eventually and use them both to their advantages. Thanks for watching Karen and for commenting as well. :)

If you are in Australia this brand is readily available and in the size you mention. If you are overseas then Wedi Board is widely used and a similar product but its generally not available in this size but larger. Thanks for watching. :)

Thankyou very much Lorraine appreciate that and thanks for watching. :)

Thankyou very much appreciate that. I was pleased with how it turned out and enjoy looking at it in the garden. Thanks again and thankyou for watching. :)

Thankyou very much, Its a fabulous Clematis, I have several different colours and they all look great in flower. Thanks for watching and for your comment. :)

Thankyou very much appreciate that. I like to have my tess very close together so as the grout does not impact the piece I am creating but that's just a personal choice. I have seen some wonderful pieces that have wider grout lines. Thankyou so much for watching and for commenting. :)

I don’t think they have a distributor in the USA and it would be very expensive to ship it there. You could use Wedi board which is a similar product, there are other similar lightweight boards in the USA as well. Thankyou for watching. 😊

Thankyou so much and welcome to the Treasury Road community, enjoy the videos. 😊

Thankyou very much Michelle appreciate that and thankyou for watching. :)

When I make these I don't get air bubbles in them unless you picked up on something that I didn't see.

Thankyou very much Gizele and thankyou for watching. :)

Thankyou so much, if I am right 1/8" is just over 3mm which is very narrow even for the plastic Leponitt running pliers which I love. What comes into play is the length that you are trying to break and also the glass itself because some breaks easier than others. I cannot definitively answer that question because there are variables however you would have better luck with the Silberschnitt or the Leponitt Springed Running pliers which are smaller and narrower than most other running pliers. You may not get all good breaks but I would think the majority would be good. Both of these can be purchased from www.merlinmosaica.com Thanks for watching and for your comment. :)

@@TreasuryRoad thank you so much! As usual you go above and beyond to help!! Much appreciated! 🤗

Thankyou so much appreciate that and thankyou for watching. :)

Thankyou so very much Patricia, thats very kind of you, appreciate it. :)

A weldbond wash is really suitable to glass on glass, anything with a texture just exacerbates the situation further especially when its Wedi board and acrylic paint. The best way is to adhere your pieces down correctly to avoid the need for a Weldbond wash which is another step and is not 100% successful all the time. Thankyou for watching and for your comment. :)

@@TreasuryRoad Thank you, perhaps I will continue with Mac glue which is more fluid and spread easier under the pieces!
