Glen, in my experience too much reheating resulted in more visible grain, but certainly a too thin layer shows more grain. I did not use a thinner layer than aluminum foil, with just 1 or 2 stops...

Wayne, I wouldn't confuse this issue too much with quality. Did you see the Guerilla35 footage? It clearly has allot of light going through the GG diffusion, but it seems to be collected by one or...

Wax is not expensive at all, but sometimes hard to find. The finest wax that is used/tested so far is called microckristalline or micro wax. Hard or soft doesn't matter as far as I know. Most of the...

Making the glass in different sizes is the easiest way I came up with to leave enough wax at the edges. This way the wax seals itself. It really is crucial to leave the wax there to protect it from...

Bill, we have a very friendly termite who died twenty years ago at the age of 80, so don't think to much of your town.
Say, I'm back in The Netherlands and suddenly we have a brand new IKEA in my...
