alistermorton Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I've been asked to look into suppliers of sheets of sugar glass to glaze set windows. Suggestions so far are Flint's and Breakaway - any further suggestions? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alistermorton Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 As in the gel and gobo manufacturer? Do they deal direct with end users? I thought they dealt through distributors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmiller056 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 If your need is for flat sheet and money is tight (amateur/community theatre) you can make your own. Make some clear toffee with granulated sugar and water and put it out onto a flat tray such as a swiss roll tin. Once it is cool and set, it can be used as 'glazing'. This stuff is hydroscopic and will absorb water from the air and become quite sticky after a few days. Any person who is good at sugar cookery should be able to help you with the details.

alistermorton Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 That's an interesting idea. We are an amateur theatre, but we don't have quite the constraints that some amateur companies have to often work under (e.g. hiring a glaciator for a fortnight wasn't out of the question for a show that required one scene with heavy low fog). Nonetheless, it's worth bearing in mind. As it happens, the set designer is now looking at an alternative, but I'll pass everyone's comments on. Thanks again., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
