Painting on glass that lasts.
There are three levels of paint that MAY work for you depending on the
effect you want. High temp spray paint is sold to paint engines, etc., and may be available in the color you want. Check hardware and auto supply stores. There is a paint for decorative work on glass that is baked in a ordinary oven. I don't know much about it. Check craft supply stores. Then there is true enamel for glass, which is held temporarily by a medium like gum arabic and then is melted onto the glass at about 1100F - very close to the sagging point of the glass. The enamel expansion must match the glass. Contact Thompson Enamel http://www.thompsonenamel.com/ or Paradise Paints http://www.paradise-co.com/paints/. -- Mike Firth Furnace Glassblowing Website http://users.ticnet.com/mikefirth/ "Søren M" wrote in message ...
