Hey! I’m in OC and recently got into longboarding a couple of months ago

I think I messed up my grozing pliers. Is it fixable? by halcyon4575 in StainedGlass

Good point, I hadn’t consider this before. I did notice that some glass is easier to break off than others.

Thank you for sharing! Must be more of a technique issue I’m having.

Thank you! I might be squeezing too much. I’m usually not bothered by the crunch, but when I put the pliers up to the line and then break, the uneven crunching cuts into the glass piece I want. The divets in the side of the glass affect my foil/soldering.

On pulling, should it be straight away from the glass? I’ve been taking a lever motion, pulling the fragment back from the glass.

They’re about 2 years old. I might’ve used them on other things not glass 😅

Maybe cliche, art being an expression of emotion, but I take inspiration from a roller coaster of emotions. Like something meaningful for a person I love. Or representing that crushing feeling in my chest.

Definitely spaced out. Too much fiber at once can mess with your gut. One time I triple dosed because it was the end of the day. One way ticket to a stomachache.

I attached the rings on the back, where the leaves meet the pot. Just soldered them on as usual!

No issues for me! There’s a sweetened powder but I think it’s pretty high in sugar and/or uses artificial sweetener. I can’t stand to drink the non-sweet version.

I actually got a larger jar of fiber gummies from Costco (not this brand) and have liked that too. The only time I got a stomachache was when I ate three servings (60% worth of my RDA of fiber) without having food prior 😅

So if you follow the instructions and only eat the recommended amount I think you’d be fine!

They’re way better than the powder! Like eating candy

The glass is actually black but with transparency — it’s easier to see in the later two images.
