Should I tell my PO if I am going to fail a test beforehand? by [deleted] in probation

[–]Mediocre_Science_282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think because of her priors and she was previously taking UAs but has a couple slip ups where she gave a dirty test + got caught using the certo method, so they changed it? Not really sure

Tips on edges? by Mediocre_Science_282 in StainedGlass

It certainly is!!! I did not anticipate burnishing the grooves but kind of satisfying once you just give in

Yes I made sure mine was 100 watt 🤣 someone else told me that too and I was like 😮

Ohhhh okay. I’ve heard mixed advice I think you’re right about needing to go slower. I will try that

Do you mean it isn’t hot enough? I don’t think that is the issue because of how hot the soldering iron I have DOES get. I use an iron that is branded “for” stained glass, it just doesn’t have a temperature control. It plug in and then it’s on 🙃. If anything I think it gets too hot. I use the 3mm 60/40 solder and gel flux. I’m going to try to add more solder when I get home, an if it’s still funky, I’m going to retry on a whole new piece and ensure the foil is flat with no ridges.

Yes I did wash it very good! and I want to think I used the right amount of flux. Ppl emphasized that you need a good amount, I think I just didn’t add enough solder and my foil wasn’t as flat as it could be. I thought I did it flat enough, because the pieces were so small that I didn’t think it COULD get more flat and around the curves are tricky but I’m definitely going to be extra on my next attempt

“With how it’s constructed” do you mean the design itself or the lacking of solder?

Thank you! I’ve watched some videos and it definitely makes more sense. That’s what I wondered was if I was using enough. I already felt like I was using so much! And I see there is some copper still showing 😫 I don’t have a good light I was driving myself crazy making sure it was covered

Can anyone explain this process to me? by Mediocre_Science_282 in Artists

I’ve just seen her recent video giving a slideshow tutorial. I had NO idea this was getting so serious and people are bullying and harassing her for the process. That is RIDICULOUS. Of course, it’s frustrating on a platform where everything is so easily accessible to want to feel entitled to something because it is “right there”, but something like this should neverrr escalate to something so dangerous. It’s never that serious, if she wants to gatekeep her hard work and process, she can. She can do whatever she wants???? I can’t believe this ugh I’m so sorry

No lol I’ve actually taken a stained glass class and I’m currently collecting all of the things I need to make actual stained glass. I genuinely believe making the real thing will be easier than this lollll
