![]() I’ve tried a search in this forum using the search terms “transparent paint” and didn’t get a single hit. It would be nice to have a liquid masking agent (something like liquid rubber) which one could use to paint a border, later to peel it off.Īre there products like that? I’ve considered trying rubber cement, but again - if someone else has figured this out, I’d love to know it! Consider painting any of these elements, perhaps multiple coats. Masking agents: consider a lamp shade composed of near-true sized roses, vines, and leaves, all in clear glass. It seems to me that most of this kind of glass has coloring mixed in the glass medium itself, rather than being clear glass with color applied to it.Īre there paints that produce the appearance of stained glass?ģ. Here, I’m thinking of what is commonly called “stained glass” - glass that is opaque to fine details, but is colored and allows light to shine through it. easily light shines through it, but without the true transparency found in sun glasses, for example). All matters related to using transparent paint on glass - mixing colors, diluting, multiple layering, priming, sealing (either with heat or by applying a sealer coat, or both).Ģ. I’d very much appreciate directions to the following topics/techniques if anyone knows where such might be found - in this web site or somewhere else:ġ. Yes, I can learn by doing but I thought I’d ask here in case I can avoid inventing a wheel already invented. What I have not discovered are detailed descriptions of the use of such materials. I have discovered manufacturers of transparent paints and primers that are supposed to insure adherence of the paint to the glass. I would like to paint on these and put them back into service. Some collectors simply soak these pieces in paint remover in order to reduce the piece to clear glass only.Īmong many pieces such as I’ve described are several lamp shades, made for oil lamps. Consequently, much of the paint has flaked off. These shades are “antiques” (about 100 years old) which were originally painted with paints (transparent and non-transparent) which were not fired or otherwise treated to insure that the paint adhered to the glass. Project: to apply transparent paint on to objects made of clear glass, primarily to use them as lamp shades. Newbie here, looking for a tutorial (if there is one). ![]()
