Approximately how many square inches of surface area of glass will a 1.3 ounce kit bond together?

What is used to thin HXTAL so it can be used as a clear coat?
Can it be used to fill pinholes on the surface of fused glass? if yes, thinned or full strength?

The easiest way to remove a large joint of HXTAL is to heat the glass to around 500 degrees F. This will break down and burn off the HXTAL from the glass.
If you don't have access to a kiln for this process or the piece is too complex, we also offer...

Can hxtal be applied to a glass surface that has been mirrored? For example, to adhere a metal mount to mirrored glass.

I’ve heard of people using Hxtal to fill open bubbles on the surface of castings and I’d like to try it. Would this product be the best way to remove the Hxtal if it doesn’t look good? Or would it be better to use heat in that case?
ATTACK will work well to remove small areas of HXTAL, yes.If the HXTAL has not fully cured, you can also try Acetone.
