HELP me re-GLASS FUSION/GLASS LAMINATION
« on: September 03, 2008, 08:10:39 pm »
Guys, anyone here does Glass Fusion? im putting up a business and still cant figure out what procedure should i do.

materials:

* capiz
* 2 pcs (3mm x 3mm thick glass) - (100 mm x 100mm H/W)
* laminating liquid


my concern as follows:

1) step-by-step fast and efficient procedure for production

2) how to do it professionally

3) less reject rate

4) how to smoothen the edges

- ive tried many procedures but still cant figure out the right process and things that i need, ive already bought some machines, 1.(suction machine for bubbles) 2.(cutting/die cut cutter for the capiz) 3.(UV machine for the curing) 4.(sanding machine).
so what i wanted now is a professional advise or if you could send me some links on how to do this procedures will be much appreciated. Ive attached some pics for some examples.

thanks very much guys

Procedures tried and tested:

1) Putting scotch tape on the 3 sides of the fused glass before pouring the laminating liquid ( kasi ang tendency nya is tumutulo un liquid nag leleak eh) once poured so properly sealed sya pag merong tape.

2) Meron sya dapat na definite na thickness, so ang product ko kung 3mm thick ang top at bottom glass, ang thickness naman ng glue nya dapat pag natuyo is (3 mm din), so lahat ang thickness nya dapat ay standard na (9 mm).

3) Then i created this "spacer" that i call, ung prang gapper lng sya na habang tine-tape ko ung 3 sides ng glass eh nkapalaman sya sa gitna then pag properly sealed na eh hinuhugot ko na lng ung spacer ko pra ma define ung thickness, but then when i pour the laminating liquid, ang end result is panget pa din eh. especially ung sides nya andaming bako-bako, maski i sanded (niliha) it many times, still same result.

* so un na ang nagiging concern ko, papaano kikinis ung sides nya even kinisin ko ito at papaanong procedures pa kaya ang pwede kong ma-try.

maraming salamat guys toast::

Off topic question: pre saan kumukuha ng supply ng capiz shells? balak ko kasi gamitin as part ng aluminum window shutter e like the old windows ng 'bahay na bato'. mahal yung binebenta sa dapitan sampaloc na salvaged from old houses.
