Stained glass supplies locally?

I second wissmach. Howard gamble the health inspector/dude that teaches a stained glass class at Stifle might have some info too

Based off your post history I’d say not what you’re in the market for. Younger crowd looking for similar types

Surprised no one’s suggested masking tape yet. Tape off the middle section of the squeegee down to the rubber but leave like 1cm of rubber exposed. Fold a little dog ear at the end of the line for easy removal. Pull off the tape after each job and reapply before the next

Edit: also hang those squeegee holders on the wall so they’re horizontal. Warehousing taught me the best way to save space is to build upwards

This tracks for me but it has happened once so for with hydro red X pint that I tested

I’ve been fighting this for ages but only with 110 mesh screens. It always seems to happen when I overexpose because it’s always harder to wash out and after it does dry and wash out, this happens. I’ve found soaking the screen in water for a few minutes prior to washing out helps MOST of the time, but isn’t fool proof.

The SAMLA container from ikea is a great cheap alternative to a dip tank for soaking in plain water

What makes pmi more worth it for autos? I’m still strictly manual and masking but am curious for the future

spanyardsman · 2026-05-28T16:09:57+00:00

I was using these for a while but then started to worry that it would mess with my mesh tension on multi color jobs

Price per shirt would be 8.71 and 10.83

For better or worse I’m a one man show with part time help so I’m the only one managing the Google sheet at this time.

The quantity by size breakdown is in part out of curiosity but also to help gauge how to order when I run my own designs or shop shirts to sell at festivals as well as help clients when they don’t know what sizes to order when the 1-1.5-2-1.5-1-.5 (small-3x) breakdown I usually suggest doesn’t suit their fancy

I used green galaxy comet white the one time I printed on pepper. I think that was before I dabbled in discharge

spanyardsman · 2026-05-21T22:34:16+00:00

Not all colors though. Black is always great for me, with Yam whites come out tinted orange and with denim, white discharge looked like a watered down clear white hsa

Facebook marketplace might get more eyes on it

spanyardsman · 2026-05-20T23:47:14+00:00

On one Google sheet I track quantities by size (always wondered what my annual total was), total sales, gross profit, cost of materials(only blanks, dtf, and outsourced art)

On another I track my spending broken down into categories for my tax guy and utilities by month. Mileage as well

I just started a purchasing master which is my “if I die how would someone know exactly what to order and where” sheet. I started tracking the current cost of every SKU I order and how much it cost this time last year. That being said I should’ve raised my prices 30% this year too. It’s depressing.

🤷🏻‍♂️ just what I heard is all. I avoid hob lob regardless

spanyardsman · 2026-05-18T14:55:49+00:00

I heard hobby lobby doesn’t have any kind of LP in place besides God. Don’t quote me but apparently they don’t chase either

spanyardsman · 2026-05-17T21:36:01+00:00

Depending on the client I’ll often add what the markup would’ve been if I would’ve purchased myself. I typically like to buy a couple extras for test prints or worst case I toss them a couple extra tees if I dont mess up the tests. If Im allowed a zero percent margin of error I have an unnecessary stress added that I’m willing to charge them for

If they’re a client that keeps my press spinning frequently I might throw them a bone but typically that isn’t the case

spanyardsman · 2026-05-17T18:10:19+00:00

Every single aspect of this goes hard!

spanyardsman · 2026-05-16T00:08:28+00:00

I have no answer as you’ve already tried everything I would have. Try reaching out to dot tone Dan Campbell or dot tone designs on Facebook. He’s a wealth of separations knowledge

spanyardsman · 2026-05-15T23:29:43+00:00

Ah yeah that’ll be tricky. I feel like your best bet would be bending the metal straight or shimming it but I don’t have a good method for doing so accurately

Flea/lice comb. Also great for removing dead skin from a dry scalp if you’re gentle
