Got the scoop. The expert paint guy just told me "easy off oven cleaner "will take the paint off and not hurt the factory paint... wow whowould have thought oven cleaner of all things...

 

Well, if the Easy-Off doesn't work, you could always make a trip to the local mall and get some fake fingernails put on... LOL

Hi Mud, I had looked at your site before, it looks very cool. The detail on your work is awesome. Quite an artisan type of thing.

I used to be in hi-tech (Cisco) - but we started this biz about 2 years ago. We actually have two companies... one that imports the process and licenses other people to use it, and one that actually manufactures the glass products here.

The basic info is at www.glasskoteusa.com

It has been an interesting career switch, but I am enjoying it a lot.

 

Very interesting warren.

Had a look around the site, lots of possibilities are illustrated.

Very very interesting.

Beautiful work mud. I especially like the aztec project.
I think it would be cool as voyager said to have a what's your trade pollor a how do you pay for your bike poll.

 

Thanx for the compliment rock. I love my job.

The picture you chose from my website is one of two fire exit surrounds
that I executed for the Aztec Theatre in SATx.
They are each 14 foot high by 14 foot wide.
All hand carved from plaster.

This is actually the project that paid for my current machine.

I'm inserting another picture from my studio to show the scale better.

I saw the swimming pool shots you posted. Very impressive.

The job I am working on now is in AusTx and it has some very impressive
stone work. Not only the flatwork, there is also a lot of carved Tx limestone.
I am attaching a picture of one of the gargoyles.

Wow that is very cool!!Ausume detail in your carvings. You are a true artist. It's really great at the end of the day to stand back and look what you have created out of nothing. I don't think I could ever work in an office pushing papers. Keep up the great work!!!

well it sounds like one shot paint if oven cleaner took it off and left behind your clear. he didnt clean your tank right if it peeled right off.

Best way to do any stripe work is wet sand stripe and re clear that way its there for ever.

what was he putting on the tank that was tanking so long that he only got 1/2 done
