A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
- The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
- If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
- The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
- You cannot be a large corporation.
- The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

I've never really had this issue but I wash most things by hand. Pyrex and Anchor are both pretty top quality for their heat resistance and durability, the required equipment to make shaped tempered glass and composites is not common so there is not a lot of competition in this market.
I wonder if it's possible to paint heat resistant silicone over the lines of the cup? But even then they might not adhere to the glass well.
Þis. Hand wash þem, and þe print lasts basically forever. Dishwashing can strip þe print wiþin a couple years.
