Porosity ability to Puncture/Breaksewing needle attempt to be hammered into glass

Broken Glass Picture

Porosity:Ink, highlighter, sharpie, pantone marker, nail polish

Blue Sharpie:Why Sharpie is reflecting a different color

Assorted Sharpies on clear bulb:Do all sharpies reflect different colors? Nope

Porosity over ink padAbility to absorb ink rolled over ink pad

Stability and Porosity of water mixtures:Water and gouache concentrations on glass

Stability based on form & porosity:Water and gouache over length of form

Porosity and adhesion:paonters tape, duck tape, hot glue &zap it glue on soft white bulb

Equipment:Heating device and Abrasion

Creating porosity on a soft white bulb:Absorption of Zap-it glue after has been sanded

Creating porosity on Reveal Bulb:Absorption of Zap-it glue after has been sanded - sanding to close to the base causes it to break

Creating porosity and grain:Testing abrasion, direction and heat to see if glass gains more porosity

Creating porosity on a Reveal bulb:Heat 20 min sand for 10 min - 10 times

Porosity SubmersionReveal bulb submerged in water

Next StepsGlass vs. Sand - which woks better for abrasion?
