Thank you all for stepping up and helping us get this off the ground! :blowkiss:

If you want to help out in some way, hit me up! When you do let me know your email so I can send you info. :D Your donations will get you the 2014 flame badge which increases your account size limits, and entries into the party giveaways. It would work best if you could send pics I could use to promote your donation, hang onto it until we auction or raffle it, and mail it to the winner when I send you the info on who won. That way we avoid mailing things twice.

I will post more info as things are worked out. I'm very excited for this years event, and I hope you guys are too! :blowkiss:

Gentec Small Torch. This micro torch is the favorite in the glass blowing industry, and is great for jewelry and other hobbies and trades as well. Features 12' hoses, 5 tips #3 - #7, and a sturdy chrome plated brass body with stainless steel inner gas tubes.

Great for attachments and detail work for glass blowing, and soldering for jewelry.

I sell this kit for $110 + shipping, which is the best price on these torches.

Check him out on fb at Rudiger Diceslo. Thank you, Ramblez!! :blowkiss:

66561






Trautman Art Glass has made and donated 3 pounds of dense pink slyme!


Only *slightly* denser. Just like the regular Slyme, the COE is a tad high on the Pink Slyme, and it also likes a bushy flame -- but it does not need as much propane as the regular Slyme to prevent boil. You tend to get a milkier strike with a more reducing flame and a more transparent effect with a more neutral flame. And like all the Slymes, Pink Slyme will be a bit milkier under encasement.

Such a beautiful color. Thank you, TAG crew! You guys are awesome. :blowkiss:

66567


Quick question to you guys who might be interested in the pink slyme. Would you rather see it as a 3 pound bundle, or 3x1 pound bundles?


Thanks again to all of you awesome people who have stepped up to support TMP this year. We wouldn't be here without you all!! :blowkiss:

[PyroChixRock]

Oh I forgot to list in the first post that one of the goals this year is to re-open the lending library. I'm really excited about that! :D

I'll add it to the list of goals. :)

[RamblezMarblez]

3x 1lb......I'm sure to add more to my prize pack...just whipped that up quick..my bad...expect double that...it's now rudiger diceslo on fb now....from Newark Valley Ny...peace Erik aka Svenny the deer slayer...

[KLAW]

Quick question to you guys who might be interested in the pink slyme. Would you rather see it as a 3 pound bundle, or 3x1 pound bundles?

Personally I think the individual pounds are better because then more people have an opportunity to get a taste that can't spend enough to get all 3lbs.

Oh and thanks for the kind words Jamie & Nik!

[PyroChixRock]
