Fourth Section

This section will have fewer videos and more information in text form, but it’s as important as knowing how to bend glass.
One of the main problems that even very experienced glass benders have is that they don’t know how to sell their neon, or are afraid to go out and sell their products.
They just don’t know where to start, so this section will be full of advise from my personal experience after 27 years of making neon signs and selling them. In those 27 years i have been self employed and also employed,and before i went into neon glass bending i owned a automotive parts store, so the experience is there and that is what will be in this section.
