Use for used up points?

[Monkythrowpoop]

Alright, my box of used up points is finally starting to annoy me, and I wanted to see if anyone has any good ideas for using them. So far my best idea is to open one side and stick in the guts of a pen. I figure I could sell them at craft shows for like 3-4 bucks, and they barely take any time or money. My other best idea is to just throw them away and make some marbles. What do you guys do with your used up points?

P.S.- Does anyone have any tips for gluing the pens to the glass?

crack heads love em. most citys have a shady section in town that if you leave a box of em in a playground or on a street corner within mins they will be gone. :-)
never had a problem getting rid of them. the lil ghetto kids like to use them as pretend prison shanks too.

yeah lets leave boxes of crack pipes at a playground lol

[SteppingRazor]

sell them on E-bay.
i got a warning from the city of buffalo for leaving a box of them out at the curb. I guess you can't throw away tons of broken glass in some places.

Ball up some clear on the end and use them to pull color. Makes great handles for stringers. Thats what i do.

[somberbear]

things i use used points for

raking (wrap and rake)
frit scoops - they fit nice in most handle stock and if long enough can get past the condisantion (thanks wonka)
pulling stringers
speed punties

or emergancy bowls

some ideas

peace

So the glay ground is NOT! a good idea? ya I guess its bad enought I already dump all my chemical waist there at night as it is.
na I'm only kidding.

i open my points with diamond shears so those handles are very useful, and are much better than 9.5 blow tubes unless it's something really big. other left over points get put in a jar for random handles. i like to puff them out a little before they go in a jar, it makes them easier to use later. once they get down to under 6", i pull stringer with those. there's very little in the trash can and most every thing has a use

I fume 'em, pull a loop and done. Christmas icicles. Cheap, but that's what some folks like. $2.00 eachie or 6 for $10.

[Firekist]

fume them and condense them into marbles, put on a bale.. or put onto a pipe.
oh.. i use them instead of whatever rod most people use to wipe glass off. (for really big hot glass wiping.. i use a rod cause the points just shrivel.. heh)
once they're under 3 inches, i just toss them.

[john madden]

i was going to say was boxfan said, christmas tree ornaments definatly, just fume em and loop em, bam

[Mr. Whale dick]

don't pull points for prodo......

[broken glass]

dig a hole approximately from 1-6 feet deep and about 3ft x 3ft. At the bottom of the hole, stick the points into the ground so they stick up with a broken edge in the air. now do this same thing to all the points untill you have filled the bottom of the hole with sharp pieces of points sticking up on end at least 4 in out of ground. Now get some brush and cover top of hole, net and a thin layer of pine needles works goood to. I do this in all but one path to my shop, this cuts down on the percentage that a theif would be able to jack me should one find my shop

[Infinity glass]

cant u get sued for that? shit sell em to the shady shops as incense burners or trade em to a tweeker to go jack sumthing for ya like his moms vcr or his baby sisters bed or sumthn. lol ya right i dont deal with shady people im afraid ill get robbed to sumday. i can allready see it in sum people eyes plotting on me when they hear i blow glass. Rember take no one to your shop unless u get robbed sumday.

[Sol]

lol you forgot to wipe poop on em yo, real punji stix yo... i would say that you could fume them, put em in a big metal bowl, get em all wet and smash em, ever see fumed frit inside out, its kinda cool, you could also mix it in with some other frits to get a neat effect. iknow frit is shit but i like doing the orbs with like 43 layers of powder and frit on the outside of a marble and then cut em n half like geodes, shape em then you have some cool accents to a sculpture or whatever

[Matt Hess]

Flare open the lip of the ripped off end and do a little io pattern then make a nice little implosion marble. Or use them for wipping off glass. Use them for a temp puntie for sections. Clear coat your boily colors with them depending on the punty dimensions. Or open up the side you ripped off and then seal the mouthpiece end and use it for a frit scoop.

[Lambs Bread]

i make fumed pens with them i leave my handles a little thicker and shape fume heavily make it fit a bic pen tip and u r done i sell them for 10 bucks

[Greymatter Glass]

loop and sandblast makes good icicles also

[rumplephorskin]

crush em and use em for clear frit. or leave the crushed in lil plastic baggies on the sidewalk in bad neighborhoods on april fools day;) just kiddin

[10FennyGlass]

dood, dont support the tweakers.
i havnt found a dent use for them, i used thm for w-r sometimes, but i like more clear than that, but i will pull points of that cobalt tubin for this purpose

[NUBBLET]

I like them for rod handles , holding the last bit of some latti or a rod and you can use the whole rod , To clean ends up .... I use them till their bits , and now am thinking frit sounds like it would eat the rest .
