DIDYMIUM EYE PROTECTION FOR TORCH WORK

These Torch Work Glasses utilize Schott Technology's ACE (Amethyst Contrast Enhancer) rare earth (didymium) oxide glass for the lenses. While effectively filtering the harmful wavelengths produced by the sodium flare, the ACE composition enhances the red, green and blue wavelengths. This renders a more realistic appearance of your glass as you work the bead in the flame.

The Phillips 202-ACE lenses filter out harmful UV to 390nm wavelength.
Well suited for working with System 96, Bullseye or Moretti/Effetre glass,
NOT for borosilicate, pyrex or fused quartz.

The Phillips 202-ACE Didymium glasses are quickly becoming the choice of torch workers everywhere. They are comfortable for viewing for longer periods. Made by Phillips Safety, a leader in vision protection.

D-Lead Heavy Metal Hand Soap

EFFECTIVELY REMOVES:

• Lead, Copper & Zinc
• Nickel, Cobalt and Cadmium
• Aluminum, Mercury and Gallium

NOTE: This is the same product previously marketed to the stained glass trade as "Shepherd's Heavy Metal Soap".

Simply washing with plain soap and water will not eliminate the risk of contamination or ingestion of heavy metals that your skin comes in contact with while working in stained glass.

Remove heavy metal residue and reduce the risk of toxic contamination with D-Lead Hand Soap with Mild Abrasives.

D-Lead has been formulated to QUICKLY remove heavy metal residue from the skin in less than 60 seconds.  Studies show that most industrial soaps require you to wash thoroughly for five minutes to completely remove the heavy metals from your skin. This formula will do the job in 60 seconds or less.

Gloves In A Bottle

• Doesn't make fingers slippery
• Non-greasy, leaves no film
• Helps keep flux and patina off your skin
• Repels water when grinding
• Gives your hands added protection all throughout the stained glass fabrication process

Gloves in a Bottle has wonderful protective qualities. It forms a protective layer that keeps your skin's natural moisture and oils where they belong and keeps external irritants at bay.

We have tried this unscented lotion here at Sunshine Glass and have found it very agreeable to use.  Unlike other lotions that leave your hands greasy, Gloves in a Bottle penetrates the skin and is readily absorbed.

Sold in 8 oz and 2 oz bottles. 

Order # 0680 for the 2 oz bottle,
$5.19

Order # 06801 for the 8 oz bottle,
$13.79

Note:  Even though the name might suggest  that this product might replace physical gloves, you still need to wear protective gloves when using hazardous materials such as etching compound or patinas. Gloves in a Bottle adds an extra level of protection at the cellular level.

We have foil packet samplers that are good for up to four applications. They're free, but you do need to request them when you place an order. Limited to one per customer.

Simply add the note "Free sample, Gloves in a Bottle" when you check out or when you call your orders in.

Or stop in the shop and try our tester - it's on the front counter.

A Personal Note about Gloves in a Bottle from the Webmaster

I have been working in glass for over 34 years now and every winter I would dread the chapped hands and the cuts that would not heal in the dry, cold winter months. Since Sunshine started carrying Gloves In A Bottle (GIAB), I have applied this lotion a few times a day. In past winters there would be times when there was a Band-Aid on five or six fingers to protect the nasty cracks that developed. Last winter I was careful to use GIAB three to five times a day and noted that the tiny nicks that are unavoidable in glass working healed quickly. Only a couple of the nastier ones required a Band-Aid for more than a day. The stuff really works

Added Note: With use of the ever-present alcohol based skin sanitizers, Gloves in a Bottle is needed even more. Apply a drop of Gloves in a Bottle after using skin sanitizers to restore moisture and
