Delta Air-Dry Permenamel Transparent Glass Paint Set

My art students play a game called "Flashlight Art" and previous to finding this marvelous product, a teammate and I had been using colored cellophane affixed to the flashlights by rubber bands. Well, you know what happens with that....elementary students tear it off within a couple class periods - plus, it is so thin it rips very easily. So, I decided to get this stained-glass making paint and give it a try. Boy, was I excited when it actually worked!!! I painted directly onto the outer clear plastic/glass of the flashlight - NOT the bulb itself (that way I won't have to re-paint whenever the bulb burns out and I need a new one). I painted about 3 or 4 coats onto the clear part (after doing the clear "primer" type fixative included with the paint - but DO NOT use the black stained-glass paint), and now when my students have colored table teams, I will be able to tell who has shone their flashlight on the correct vocabulary word first and will get the point for their team. It is AWESOME!!!

OMG Amazon I have had such good luck with your products in the past. But these paints are terrible. I have used them in the past when I purchased them locally. Of all the colors maybe 2!! are pliable enough to use. And this has put me in a bind since I needed to paint some teapots for a tea party!! Not going to happen with these. I don't know if the stock is old or what the problem is but this packet is junk! Not happy!

I wanted to paint a piece that looked like stained glass from a reasonable distance, but could not acheive this result perfectly.*Liquid leading worked as expected. It helps to hold the tube upright rather than at an angle, and to do continuous lines.*Paint was VERY thick. Not sure if it had just dried out, or if it is meant to be that way. I would have like something that flowed a little more so I could avoid having brush marks, which really take away from the stained glass look. Used a sponge as an applicator to make it less obvious, but I still wasn't happy with the result. This is the primary problem with the product, and otherwise it would have gotten 5 stars. Besides the brush stroke problem, the thickness made it difficult to get the color on evenly, so some areas are more translucent than others.*I guess the result wasn't too bad for my first try, and I think this method still has potential with maybe some of the paint thinner.*The amount of paint in the paint pots is probably good for expeirmenting, but not enough to cover a substantial area. My project was about 6"X10", and I used at least half of the green and the yellow paint.

this paint works nicely smooth colors nice finnish when dry plenty of paint for my project still have leftover paint

Perfect product for my project. I took crystal angel charms and painted the body crystal in the colors of various birthstones. The transparent colors look exactly like rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and for stones like peridot, citrine, and garnet, a little mixing of colors worked perfectly. I even mixed up a good turquoise with blue, green, white and a little black.The little pots will last a long time, I'm sure as it only takes a little bit at a time for this type of project.

I love Delta Paints I hate that Permenamel has been discontinued! I won't buy the replacements Plaid has out. I try not to buy a lot of Plaid products. Seems as if they are trying to take over the craft industry. did however purchase Liqutex Glossies they are the consisency of Permenamel and I love them as well! I Looked on Amazon they weren't here, Also been looking for some L&B glass paint I hear its as good as permenamel!

Very disappointed with this product. After all the work that went into designing my very first stained glass project and applying the simulated lead beading (which worked great by the way), I opened the first paint container and found it semi-solid and virtually un-spreadable. All of the paint colors were the same way, dried out to the point of being almost useless. Instructions warn against adding water to dilute. But I tried anyway--didn't work. Tried paint thinner on another color--no help. Gave up and trashed the kit.

I thought it was something else. I really did not care for this product at all. It didn't go on smooth at all.
