Gallery Glass Jewel Tones PROMOGGJL22 Stained Kit, 8 Piece Glass Paint Set for DIY Arts and Crafts, Perfect for Beginners and Artists

It's totally awesome! I've been using Gallery Glass in my home for more than 2 decades and I just love it!My most recent project is as privacy glass in my bathroom. I'd had created stained glass window looks on my bathroom window back in 2000, but my children picked at it as they sat doing their business. It peels off easily once a lead line is lifted or a portion of paint gets peeled, so they lifted it right off. Years later, I'm finally in the process of creating, freehand, my new privacy glass on the window. My intention is to reverse the image on the top pane for the bottom pane which is, as you can see, currently still covered by a badly faded (year old only) vinyl-type privacy product. Soon to be remedied as I create the bottom pane!The quality is excellent.Transparency doesn't happen until the "paint" dries entirely, and will depend on how thick you apply it.Durability is great - see photo of large window - it was created in 2003 and has just barely faded even though it is in direct sunlight for at least half the day.When used as privacy glass in the bathroom, I tend to use a very thick coat of the paint. It took about 8 hours to completely dry. But if you don't paint it on so thick, it will dry fairly quickly, maybe an hour or so for the entire thing.Tip 1: When applying the lead lines, do not stretch them. They will curl and not stick well. I use an Exacto knife to cut them with precision.Tip 2: After laying the lead lines, apply the immitation lead (black paint) at each joint and allow to completely dry.Tip 3: If applying to an actual window (replacement windows like mine are removable) and you're able, take the window out and lay it on a table to do the lead and painting. Makes life SO much easier. I did this standing. After 8 hours of reaching over my head and squeezing my fat fanny between the window and the toilet, I was exhausted and sore. I'll be sitting at the dining room table to do the bottom pane! LOLOnce dry, the paint does look and feel like real glass. I tried to catch a photo so you can see the "sheen". I put this stuff on very thick. It was completely opaque until it dried. Now it is translucent and shiny like glass. I hope it comes across for you!There are tons of patterns, but if you're even remotely artistic, you can do this without one!!! It's great stuff and so much fun! Try it! I highly recommend it!!!

The media could not be loaded. Absolutely obsessed with these paints! I bought this set from Amazon after having limited color options at my local Michael’s. I also bought specific colors directly from the Plaid website that I couldn't find elsewhere. For reference, I’m not a painter, but I had several vases from my wedding left over and wanted to repurpose them as decor in some way. This was my 3rd project using these paints and I feel like I’ve found a hobby for life. I chose this brand because other glass paints that were available to me at Michael’s required putting the glass in the oven to cure the paint, etc. Like I mentioned, I’m not a painter so that seemed a little daunting. Regardless, I feel like this brand is exactly what I was looking for. The liquid leading took some getting used to but once I figured that out, it was smoothe sailing. I would go as far as to say these were easy to use. The colors dried quickly and beautifully! I would recommend doing a swatch ahead of time with different levels of thickness just to see which paints are more opaque than others. Some also dried quicker than others which means you do need to work a little quickly if you plan to mix the colors. Plaid also has swatches of the paints on their website which I found to be accurate. I would also recommend trying it out on a flat surface first. This was how I started and it helped to get the hang of it before attempting a trickier surface. Definitely let the leading paint dry for the full 8 hours as recommended! It makes it a whole lot easier and cleaner to fill in the color. Happy painting!!

Love these! They’re great to use an all kind of art projects

Wish these came in a bigger size and were easier to squeeze. Seriously, if you're older and that finger strength isn't what it used to be you might wanna consider pliers! It's a little difficult to find that line between too little and too much product. I'd error on the side of too much, too little shrinks up leaving a bare/clear look between your color area and lead line. Better instructions for holding them up and not actually dragging tips on surface etc. would've been appreciated.

really fun and easy to use!

Great base colors for project.Im creating a privacy screen with glass and these colors are wonderful, easy to work with.The colors are lovely and also mix well to create new shades.Very happy with these.

This stuff is great and makes pretty crafts! It’s a little difficult to work with since you can’t get even lines and the product has a more runny texture to it. The end result is really pretty and makes the product worth buying! I still have a lot of paint left too.

The product itself gave me good results- but I ordered 8 paints and 6 were opened, spilled, etc. Had to clean out dried paint from clogged tips. Had spilled inside the threading of the caps. It was a frustrating mess. Once I got everything cleaned I enjoyed the product.
