Title: Marking Mandrels
Post by: fionaess on October 10, 2010, 04:56:27 PM
I could type this all out, but quite frankly can't be bothered :)
So, here's the link to the information on LE  http://www.lampworketc.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3237612&posted=1#post3237612

and here's the link to the UK company that sells the Prismacolor Indigo pencils  (PC-901-indigo) - and they only charge 85p for delivery as well...  now how's that for 'handholding'  ;D ;D ;D

It would appear that the marks stay on mandrels for both soft and boro glass :)

I have marked my torch marver with a Sharpie so I can measure my mandrel up to it, rather than marking the mandrel!  Having said that I only have a couple of presses.
