Got it!! I'm printing the mask now.

If anyone else wants more then one color PLEASE email info@phiniac.com before placing the order so we can make sure your request is possible.

I'm going to retire the Black tank once I get this one, and add it to my "shot glass" collection. The new Frosted Tribal will be my main tank. :)

Awesome! I knew colours would be coming soon, lol. Now I'm really glad I waited to order my next tanks, out of curiosity, at what stage do you add the colour? Just before you anneal them?

The tanks are cut, fire polished then annealed. If there is a frost color requested it is painted and then needs to be baked so it is annealed again while the paint is baking. The paint then needs to be cured for 24 hours after it is baked the second time, so frosted tanks will take about 1 - 2 days longer (depending on time of day they are ordered) then the plain sandblasted tanks due. A day in the oven and a day to cure after it has been painted.

Funny you say that, we just ordered some shot glasses and beer pints to test frosting on! If all goes well and we ever have enough time for testing you can get a shot glass to match your tank!

You are making me a very happy man this evening.. I was just planning on stretching a cart condom across the bottom of my tank and using it as a shot glass... :D

Well if I have made you happy my work here is done!

I am hoping we get that going faster then we did the frost colors. We started working on it about 2 or 3 months ago and we were so busy with other things it took forever to finally make it to the website. However, shot glasses won't require much testing and trial and error, so it should go much quicker.

I thought the cobalt would be a nice contrast. Why do you prefer clear? Just curious.

Like I said it is really a matter of taste. The black is sharp, however, I personally like to see my juice. And for no reason at all I don't like the cobalt. My two favorites are the green and clear and I am neutral on the amber.

The new colors are absolutely beautiful! I can't wait to see pictures of what combos people have chosen start showing up here on the boards. I though choosing a tank last time was difficult, this is going to make choosing a new tank even harder! Lol! I keep stealing glances at my faerie tank wishing it was in color now! Lol!

Moorea, you gotta start taking pictures again before shipping so we can drool over them as we wait for them to arrive. Cherry, I got a XL with the Tribal Taurus symbol in Black Frosted and my initials in Red Frosted.

I'll post a pic once it gets in. :)
