心を豊かにしてくるもの

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! LOL Once 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!!!

Beautiful product easy to work with.

I love everything about this product! The brand is amazing, reliable, and there's SO MANY OPTIONS! I purchased multiple sets on Amazon through the company store page, but I also got some from local craft stores. The product was the same in all places I looked. I'll admit, some of them came with the seal broken and the paint leaked a little, but it was easy clean up, and was never that much. Other review stated issues with the paint drying in the tip, and that definitely happens, but it comes put super easy with a pin poked through the top. I'd 100% recommend! And don't be discouraged if you don't see colors you want, I mixed multiple of my own using the colors I now have, and it's lots of fun! One word of caution! Make a test strip of some sort before you do your project. The colors look amazingly different once dry. Also, the paint is going a long way! More than I thought, for sure.

It's a bit tricky to get the hang of and requires a lot of patience to make it look good. Pretty easy to mess up and I wasn't able to prevent air bubbles. It does look cool but I found it's pretty expensive for the amount you get. I'd like to buy more but wish it was a little more affordable or the bottles were a bit bigger!
