Thanks for posting this video. I've been looking up instructions on how to stain glass as a beginner and it has been very hard to get any info. This has been extremely helpful and has made the idea of doing a project at home much more obtainable.

@gryphern Cool. I'm assuming that the sealer will be sold wherever I can find the paint, right? Hopefully it won't be too expensive...

Where can I get the glass from?

@LisaSparklesXOXO You can buy sheets of window glass, or if you don't want to re-use the glass for another project, sheets of acrylic glass at hardware stores. Home Depot or Lowes sell their scraps. I buy tester pieces of glass or acrylic for five cents to a dollarfrom their scrap bin to try techniques.

I'm thinking of using this technique for making colored glass pieces for a fountain I'm making. Does anyone know if the paint will wash off if it comes into contact with water over long periods of time?

@neogeo0823 Yes it will, liquid will get between the paint and the glass and it will come off. You need to SEAL the paint with a waterproof sealer. If you seal it, then you're golden.

@neogeo0823 Look for marine varnish or waterproof acrylic sealer. I've seen some people use Mod Podge as a sealant, but I don't know how long it lasts, especially if exposed to UV light (sunlight.)

How do i finish it off? As in i want to make it permanent? What do i spray it with?

@HikariYamino You can add an extra layer of protection with a clear acrylic brushed on coat, but unless you scratch it off this will last a long time, especially if it is somewhere that doesn't get contacted.
