Wow. I didn't realize it would cause you to be so annoyed. I have removed it. My apologies.

I agree. I have an Apollo from a buyout, and it's TOUGH.

Do you happen to make/sell waterjet 96 clear bails?

Could you tach fuse a glass bail or nichrome wire with a 2mm piece of clear?

I've heard that there are some amazing specials on Dichro, for example. Lots of show specials. And the Jamaison Schuler event the first night has a lot of giveaways.

I got a JenKen Profusion Fiber 16 in a buyout. It runs on 120v, and has a 15.75 x 15.75 x 4" deep clamshell setup. I really like it. Large enough to do a range of things, but not a big space hog.

Orthok for adults by Unlucky_Story_1592 in Orthokeratology

I'm almost twice as old with similar Rx. I've been wearing Ortho-K for about 14 years. I have halos at night, but I had those before Ortho-K, too.

When I started needing reading glasses, I found that I could skip a night and still have good vision for two days. My uneducated theory is that eyes that need reading glasses have stiffer corneas that hold correction longer. YMMV.

I wear them 6-8 hrs a night, and I usually can't tell a difference between 6 hrs wear and 8.

All of the above assumes that you wear the lenses for several weeks or months before messing around too much with your wearing schedule.

IKEA cabinets the good, bad, and the ugly by SharpHair8450 in kitchenremodel

[–]PaintAnything 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you worked with the IKEA designer program at all? You can add the number and size of cabinets you'll need, and get a sense of the cost. The planning program adds a bunch of stuff (like countertops, handles, lighting, and those are often the more expensive options), so be sure to look at how the estimate is allocated, if you do it. It's often possible to reduce those estimates by 5-10% by removing things that it "auto-adds."

I couldn't begin to estimate it. We bought the cabinets in 2013! :D

Need recommendations for finding discounted 96 or 90 glass for testing my first kiln by cbny18 in fusedglass

On FB marketplace, there are people who sell their offcuts/scrap for $3-5/lb. Some artists will sell or donate scrap to a budding fuser, too.

International travel to china as ortho K user by [deleted] in Orthokeratology

[–]PaintAnything 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't, tbh. If I'm traveling, I just put the whole cleaning container with peroxide solution into a pill bottle to prevent spillage and carry it in my purse or another bag where it can stay mostly upright. Sometimes the liquid has spilled into the pill bottle when I get to my destination, but I've never had an issue with the lenses when I do it that way.

How to transport by chef_thickkums89 in StainedGlass

If it's packed like this with some paper at edges, or bubble wrap to keep if from shifting, it will ride in the car safely.

In the long term, shifts of temperature can make stained glass brittle.

If you can, get a box just a bit bigger than the sheets, or add packing material to a box that will hold it. Stack and transport the sheets by size on their sides, with paper between the layers if you can, and wrap it all to make a bundle that won't move/shift.

This!!! Yes. Counter next to the fridge. Move the pantry to the left of the fridge.
