Art Glass---Glue Chipped Glass




Introduction: Glue chipped glass is glass that has been etched and covered in warm, wet hide glue. As the glue cools, it attaches to the rough glass. As it dries, it shrinks and rips thin shards off the surface in a fern-like random pattern.
Application: can be used in contraction glass and art glass,for example:shower door,indoor partition,astigmatism plate,etc.
Production: 1.clean the glass to remove possible grease or oil
2.lightly sandblast or etch the area of flate glass to be chipped
3.puring the warm animal glue solution upon the glass surface uniformly,allow the gule to soak for hours before waring it to ensure an even final coating on the glass
4.warm the glue to 140℉(60℃)for hours,make the gule dry up,and cracked,chipped,until it brust fully
5.remove the brusted and residual gule slice.
Use this technique and “MOKE”vertical glass cutting plotter in comnination to chip glass in selected area.firstly,mask film on clearned glass,use”MOKE”vertical glass cutting plotter to cut prepared pattern on film,tear off the part need to chip,then process accroding to the above steps.

Art Glass--sandblasted glass




Introduction: sandblasting is the act of shooting an abrasive material,such as sand,at a piece of glass. The abrasive scratches the glass surface,creating the frosted look.There are two type of sandblasting techniques: surface sandblasting and deep sandblasting. Surface sandblasting scratches the surface of the glass,producing a 2D effect,deep sandblasting show a 3D effect.
Application:partition,shower door and so on.
Production: clean and dry the glass,mask film,”MOKE” vertical glass cutting plotter cut prepared pattern on film,tear off the part need to sandblast,sandblast to the exposed part,tear off the whole film,clean the glass, avoid residual sand.

Deep sandblasted glass, sandblast to one part for specified time to form depth on glass, sandblast part by part to form different depth and level,show 3D effect.The procedure is complex,we should sandblast part by part,and add color to glass,so it need mask film and cut pattern more than one time,”MOKE”vertical glass cutting plotter ensure the repeat precision,solve the problem that second pattern do not coincident with the first one,and “MOKE”vertical glass cutting plotter adopt laser application,use high temperature to burn the film,it can cut on uneven glass surface,avoid blade stucked by lumpy sandblasted glass,so when we make deep sandblasted glass,use laser instead of knife.
