Column one offers information catering to the new sandcarver. The focus of column two is the current customer, the subject of which will change periodically to remain topical. Features will include new product, new promotions, press releases, etc. Column three is simply "where to find us"—upcoming trade shows, schools etc.

CrystalEdge® introduces the new Accent Series™. Available in Half-Circles and Triangles, the new Accent Series comes in 1/2" thick clear, jade, blue, gray and bronze glass finished with a flat edge polish. The Half-Circle is available in four sizes and the Triangle is available in three. The Accent Series was designed as an alternative to the standard glass or wooden base. The pieces can be used individually or in countless combinations of sizes, shapes and colors to achieve a truly custom look. These accents can be left blank or may be etched to match the overall design of the piece. Our UV9000 Ultra Low Viscosity UV Adhesive is perfect for bonding the Accent Series pieces to a glass blank or to each other. For more information about this exciting new product series, visit the www.photobrasive.biz glass store NEW PRODUCT Introduction section or call your customer service representative at 800-643-1037.

We have been using UltraPro for about 21 months and have wonderful results with this product. Anytime one of our customers require that a project be of high definition, or in a very fine type or font, the only resist that we consider for the project is an IKONICS Imaging photo resist.

The ease of use and the versatility of the product along with the above average customer support make the product the first choice of any
professional glass artist. The mirror with the Corvette on it was slightly carved and color filled with gold and black, the customer for this project was thrilled with the results as it was a memorial for a friend that had passed away. The veterans memorial flag case is slightly carved to allow the eagle and the verbiage to be highlighted from all angles once the flag is placed in the custom produced case. The glass sign is for one of my most discriminating customers, an interior decorator. She requested that we reproduce her logo exactly in glass and have it carved and lighted for her to use as part of her display at industry shows. As you can see, the detail is flawless and the script font perfectly represented. She uses it at all shows and is one of our biggest supporters for customers that require a unique etched look.
