Years ago I saw an advertisement for a company that would make a decal with your studio signature that would be able to be fired on glass. The backing ,or front side if it was placed in reverse, was a product that would burn away and not disturb the stencil. Could anyone help with this information.

Michael,
Here is a link to the Reusche website. You might have to consider making your own or having someone who is already set up for screenprinting do it for you.

Thanks Geoff for the post. I already do quite a bit of silk screening, but you know, always looking for something that will be a bit easier and quicker, but still keeping the quality. Cleaning screens are not my favorite things to do, since I do all the painting, it my job to clean.
Thanks again,
Michael

Michael, if you call Reusche, there is a woman in Mt. Pocono PA area that does small runs for decal work. Jon had given me her number.

Micheal,
i doubt this is the product you are refering to but....
there is a fairly new fuser's toy from Delphi called "fusing photo paper". you can use a laser printer with this paper to create a decal of any black & white image. the decal is then fused between two layers of glass (all the usual fusing "rules" still aply). it's an interesting product, i just havn't figured out how it incorpoate it into my work without looking too gimic-y.

I see this is almost a year old so maybe you have solved the problem. But here is another option. Have a rubber stamp made of your signature in reverse, several sizes if you like.
Mix your pigment with water friendly painting medium or propylene glycol,
I let mine slake in a closed mason jar overnight, the next day scoop the pigment off the bottom of the jar and put the thick peanut butter texture paint on a pallet and roll it out with a brair so it is evenly applied to the pallet. Now you can use your rubber stamp and print away. If you have to thick a paint just thin a little more medium, to much medium and the image will bleed and not be crisp. Fire the glass and if you wish you can add a matt a put a high light on the signature. This of course works with most rubber stamps some are better at printing the pigment then others. you can also use a rubber tool to effect the print.
Very easy clean up with water.
