Thanks Steph! This helped me troubleshoot some issues I had recently. Will be making some nightlights today! ❤

[@RampRateArt]

I love using this on white for making backgrounds for water scenes & rainy skies! 😎💜🔥

[@StephFuses]

turns out so pretty!

[@kathiekarancz964]

Hey Steph…. How about doing a video on a bowl with a bubbled border? Thanks 🐢

[@DannyP...]

Hey Steph! Thanks for the video. I watched the other you linked with the instructions also. How much do you sell this copper oxide for? I didn;t see you have a website linked. Sorry if I missed it

[@kathiekarancz964]

Wow…. Your math is awesome! Have you ever used copper sulfate? I would like the hearts to be fatter. Would I just add more clear glass on top of it? I also I would like to run a wire through it so I can make little suncatchers with the hearts. BIG THANKS to you for sharing. 👍👍🐢

[@StephFuses]

I've never used copper sulfate, but I can look into it. As to fatter hearts, pile on the clear! I make nnice fat hearts all the time. You can run a wire through, I recommend looking for nichrome wire, or high temp wire on Amazon and picking it up in a roll, not in the little hooks. It'll take some trial and error to get it right, but I'm sure you'll get it!

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@StephFuses]

Thanks!!

[@joannem1621]

Can you tell me how you fire the dots with bubbles? Do you use 2 layers of glass to enclose the copper oxide? Never mind! I watched the video that was linked. Thanks

[@StephFuses]

I'm glad the video that was linked helped!

[@AndiFromOly]

LOL your momma only steals 95% of your bubbly dots. Signed Yo Momma. 😉 Oh you still have the lil sample tile I made too.

[@StephFuses]

somewhere I have the tiny baggie of dust too!

[@BadAxeEraser]

What a terrible video

[@StephFuses]

You are obviously not my target audience

[@BadAxeEraser]

@@StephFuses I’m sure anyone who doesn’t like your videos isn’t your targeted audience. I’ve investigated other videos related to similar topics and they’re decent in my opinion. You talk a lot instead of showing process and results which is the main thing I’m here for.
