I work at Hobby Lobby and have seen this at our store and have always wondered how to use this product. Thank you for sharing the information and now I think I may have found another phase of crafting that I have to try. lol

Howdy, I loved working with these and found quite a few still unopened. I have tons of colors and my two-fold QUESTIONS are: a) Is there an expiry date once bottle is opened?, and b) is there an expiry date on un-opened bottles?

Hi, I have big bottle of the liquid leading, but the liquid comes out more in globs that the smooth line you show here. Is there a way of adding "runniness" to the paint, I'm unsure if adding water into the bottle would help. It's a big bummer since I just got the big bottle and only managed to use it once before it became hard to apply 😬

The lines on they are applied to plexiglass will they adhere to the plexiglass after seven days and become permanent? Or is this only good for making the removable glass art?

Plaid Crafts or anyone, do you know if a tint could be used in the Gallery Glass Clear Paint? I love the texture look and would like to use it with a color.

Does it look good from both sides of the glass.?

Does instant lead lines have to go directly on the windows?

Question about the pre-made lead option. I notice you using it for large curves or straight lined, but not for fine details, like the tulips.

I'm doing a project with your materials supplied to me by the client. They have me trying to do tight curves, so there is so much tension that the tape pops off the surface down the road. Not sure if I'm explaining that makes sense.

I'm trying to explain to the client that probably better solution is using liquid for tight art, but they have the tape tuck in their head.

Do you have any ideas on how to se the lead tape in tighter art? I the past I sometimes slice the tape to a thinner piece so it's easier to bend, but doesn't always work. Thought about using a heat gun to soften it for application, or possibly use a thin bead of super glue.

Any suggestions?

Would this be a good product to use to create a faux stained glass window on the front of my house for privacy?

How many years will it last in a window with direct sunlight?

Can you mix different colors together?

I wondered if you can go over dry paint to darken the color. Anyone know?

Do you have to wait for leading to dry before filling in with color?

I want to use it on a glass coffee table, but im worried aboutthe texture if i do it on the top. Will it be pretty if i paint on the other side of the glass ?

Hello, is it possible to make your design on another surface, besides glass, and transfer to a window? I would love your thoughts please.

I wish someone would answer some questions from us. How can I make it where it won't peel off?

The "Ruby Red" is a super pale pink. Disappointed as it's the main colour l needed for my project. Anyone know of a true translucent red product to use??? Really need help here.

[jaeleaster]

I think those led lines were a great tip

Why don’t the major craft stores not even carry Gallery Glass anymore?
