They are being produced and sold once again. They are my go to molds all the way up to the 4". Not cheap but ive had most of mine almost 9 years and with almost daily use they are still like new.

Did you try ARTCO? Malcom carries them. I have one but im not giving it up.

Where are you located?

Ill take it. Pm sent.

Wow. Thats awesome Misha! You still making these?

Karma. I believe that this kind of behavior will come back to bite you someday. Ethics? No one seems to care about ethics anymore. Just go to any of the glass groups on facebook and see how many...

Nice chatting today!

Yes. For the bigger marbles I like large rods and punties. For my smaller ones I use 12mm punties and for 2.25" and up I use 15mm - 20mm. I also slightly flare the tops near the contact point. ...

Good to hear you guys starting using blown in foam. I once received a double box from you guys with peanuts. UPS had mangled it and ripped the end of the outer off. The case was opened and there...

How bout tools for tools. I have lots of them so let me in on what you like. Tweezers, shears, molds, etc.

IR is infinite rim and is a type of marble mold.

I prefer triple annealed for extra strength and durability :)

Never had the peanuts when ordering cases from mga. Got three cases of 22mm clear rod last order. Double boxed with blow in foam. That is how it has always come for me from mga. Peanuts are not...

Yeah. I am used to the handheld because I started in the furnace glass world and there the mold equivalent is hand held blocks. Thank you for the generous offer but I do think I will stick with the...

My pleasure :)

How do you like the Mike close molds? I am all IR right now but always looking to try different styles of tools.

I use to buy from ABR when there was no fitted foam. So much damaged glass that I switched to MGA because their packing was so superior. Problem solved 100%. I love the foam.

Hmm. I have always preferred function to style where tools are concerned. GTT has proven that any torch that needs water cooling should have been in the design cycle longer. To each his own.

Anyone using stainless punties for finishing marbles? Been making them for almost 3 years and I still feel like my punties could be more consistent. Will these help?

:)

Did 20 years as an electrical engr. Really enjoyed it but a couple of failed startups around the time of the crash burned me out. Much more stable then the art gig though. Be sure you have the...

IG? Yes. Under Larry Cazes. On Facebook as well where most of my online auctions happen. You?

Hmmm. Dont know about it over striking. I have tried Simax, Schott, Corning Pyrex, and Kimax and I much prefer how it looks in Simax. Try to go much lighter on the fume and for blues and purples I...

Nice! What clear are you using. I really like how Simax reacts to fume.

Where are you located?
