How to cut glass for a curved metal mould

[@winterwhitechocolate]

Thank you for this video!! I will be using my ceramic wave mold for the first time this week, and I was wondering how long to make the glass. Super helpful and very timely!

[@FiredGlass]

Super, glad it was useful and timely.

You’re a great presenter - really clear, articulate and natural. I’ve been cutting glass for a while but I’ve learnt some new tips - so, thank you.

Thank you for watching Alisa and glad to hear we are doing good for you.

what are those running pliers called? where did u buy them? Ive been doing glass for 7yrs maybe 8, but im still learning from Great artist like u.

[@FiredGlass]

They are simple called running pliers. We get almost of all of our equipment from WarmGlass here in the UK. They do not ship abroad though.

Thank you for the great videos. Always very helpful. Question: can I dip the cutting blade in mineral oil or other types of oil instead of the one sold for glass?

[@FiredGlass]

Yes most types of oil can be used, kerosene, light machine oil and so on.

Hi Jill. Love the videos. Do you use thinfire between the mold and glass too?

[@FiredGlass]

Thanks. We use Boron Nitride rather than thinfire.

Interesting thanks. My glass art teacher taught me to cut in the opposite direction, away from me. I assume the direction is not important?🐨🦘

[@FiredGlass]

Direction of cut makes no difference, personal preference. If you were using a sharp knife, then away from you makes sense.
