Re: Backing of a reverse glass sign question
Hi Oliver, When I have to back up lettering with a panel like you have done with the red, I mask out the area and use a 1/4" black poly foam roller. These rollers come in 12" length usually, so I cut them down to about 4". When rollering on the paint I can come back and lay it off nicely so it appea...

Re: Painting Mag material...Help!
Bob, you could just lay vinyl down for your background color. Your going with vinyl letters, may as well make it an all
vinyl job, collect the moolah and be done with it.

Re: Backing up Silver Gild
Hi Jen,
That looks really good. Don't use silver leaf. Use 12k gold leaf. It is 1/2 gold and 1/2 silver and
won't tarnish. Back it up with back up enamel. You can get it here http://letterheadsignsupply.com/glassgi ... amel-paint

This is just a smaller piece I did for one of the club members. He wanted lots of MOP after looking
at some of my other pieces. It's backed up with the club colors as they are on thier jackets.

Re: Glass Etching Cream
Erik, Etching cream doesn't "etch" any depth, just a light frost on the surface of the glass. It doesn't produce a clear etch like HF either. I have wondered though if it could be used to abraid the surface enough for hide glue to grab on to. If it could be used in that situation we might have heard...
