You said you dipped the cutter in oil. Does the kind of oil matter? Is it a special oil? I love watching your videos :)

[@GommStainedGlass]

You can use many types of oil. We started out with kerosene which was a traditional oil in the glass industry...it smells bad and when some got spilled in the studio it was terrible. There are glass cutting oils sold by many studios. We have a blend of orange oil with an organic massage oil. We also have lavender oil mixed as well. Without the mixed oil, the oil will make the cutting wheel sticky after a week or two. Other oils that work, 3-1n-1 oil, vegetable oil, and scented lamp oil. But if you don't add some oil to the cut, you miss out on cutting the glass, it will work much better with oil.

@@GommStainedGlass thank you for your answer! I've seen the bottles of oil being sold, but they rarely specify what kind of oil it is. I think that'll be the 3-in-1 oil. I'll try with some vegetable oil :)

Thanks Jeanie
If I ever cut a long strip without it breaking in the middle after 20 years I am going to buy a bottle of champagne and celebrate🥹

You should celebrate even if you get close!

I have had that as well. I find depending on the glass thickness or texture type this technique works well on them also. Especially if you have large pieces of glass in your design with some slight curves in them. I don't scrap glass as much using this technique. Thanks for sharing.

It's great to have a choice that works!!!

How do you KNOW when it's time to replace the cutter ??? Thank you You guys ROCK !!!!

[@GommStainedGlass]

When the cutting wheel is new it really bites into the glass and then with use that "bite" becomes less and less. Eventually you just get to the point where it feels like it's time to replace the cutter, so you turn the cutter wheel to the next number and you'll find that the new wheel bites into the glass like it used to. When you get to the last cutter on the wheel, you'll need to replace the entire turret and you'll want to do that on a clean organized surface so you don't lose pieces ..it's a delicate operation.

So love all your great videos and tips!! So helpful and I love watching you guys work together. Quick question - what do you use to put your individual projects on to put them together? is it OSB or plywood? Trying to figure it out and can't. Thanks for much for the help!

[@GommStainedGlass]

Usually plywood and sometimes drywall (very easy to drive nails)

[@sunnymimi9024]

[@GommStainedGlass]
