    Furniture restorers would never use this snake oil. It’s a temporary solution that renders actual restoration nearly impossible.

    • @BackPorchAntiques
      @BackPorchAntiques 12 часов назад

      You're absolutely correct, but that's also the point. It's not a snake oil, it's a product that makes old furniture look much better without the expense of restoration. If someone desires a perfect restoration, they probably need to contact a professional restoration specialist.

      @BackPorchAntiques 5 дней назад

      We search demand and previous sales comparables. It's more of an art than a science. Any single thing is only worth what someone is willing to pay, so we try to learn what like items are selling for in places like eBay, fb marketplace, auction houses, and more.

    i have a uranium glass chalice i sometimes use, and i also have a uranium glass ashtray literally next to my bed. ive used a dosimeter on them and although if you get right up close on it the detectors absolutely screaming, its all alpha and beta so it disappeared to background radiation past around 3-4 inches. its totally harmless.... however NEVER EVER EVER USE FIESTAWARE.... that will literally give you cancer. ive a-b tested fiestaware with both thorium mantles and radium paint on dials, fiestaware is way worse, its really funny, ive got a few bits like an old pocketwatch that are radium painted and the CPM doesnt even come close to a fiestaware pepper pot

  • @musicbruh803
    @musicbruh803 14 дней назад

    Radiation has a lot of struggles getting through glass. So it isn't released in high enough amount to harm people in uranium glass. However, if it is broken it will expose some of the uranium and can become slightly toxic

    Manganese glass exhibits luminescence similar to uranium glass. The fastest method is to measure with a dosimeter. If you haven't done this, you may be surprised to find that not everything is uranium glass.

      @@billzech4337 There is gamma radiation all around you from cosmic sources, and soil and rock. To avoid ionising radiation entirely, you would have to live under water and alone, because humans are also radioactive, due to the potassium in our blood and the C-14 in our tissues. Alpha radiation is the worst if ingested. Beta radiation burns skin and is dangerous in large doses. Most gamma radiation just passes through us with no interaction, but x-radiation is stopped by bone and tissue, so far more dangerous.
