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...

Wow, that's a big piece Rod. Very nice work! I'd like to see that in person.

You can check it out here... www.artistfonts.com

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.

Vladimir, thanks for taking the time to post your work. Beautiful and very inspiring. I hope you can afford the supplies
that you are in need of soon. What you are doing with what you have is much more than admirable. Again, beautiful work by a true artist!

Looks good Alan, nice work!

Bravo Dave! This has to be a first, for someone in this trade to get this type of recognition. Congratulations!

Very nice Rod! Thanks for sharing.

Here is what my search turned up. http://www.artessentialsofnewyork.com/g ... 0-17-.html
It's listed near the bottom of the page.

Very nice Larry! Can't wait to see that one.

Wow Dave, that was great!

Nice stuff there Rod!

That looks good Larry, I like that Jenco style.

Wow, the site opened up on your work this time. Didn't even have to search.
Another well deserving vote for you my friend!

Dave, I looked at the site and could not find where to vote.

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

Very nice work on your windows Bruce! Your website has allways been enjoyable as well.

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.

Looks like you did a very nice replication for your client Erik. Good job!

My first thought would be that your size dried to a hardened state. Happened to me before.

They don't have it listed on thier web site but I do see them when I visit thier establishment.
There are quite a few items not listed that are hard to find items.

Levi,

You can buy those type of sign kits at Pacific Coast Sign Supply in Portland, Or.

Wow Dave, stunning work. Thanks for posting!

I striped this bike over the weekend. It has about 18 feet of 23k turned gold with a plum colored outline and some dark red stripes. The red only shows in just the right light. The guy wanted things simple so I think it worked out for him. I also did the tank and ferring, those pictures where quite ...

Very nice Larry! I'm sure the client was overly happy.

I'd frame that and do some nice gold work on the glass to compliment it.

Happy birthday Dave!

Very nice Dan. I just looked at the intire site, it kind of drew me in. I think that's what you want to have happen.
Your work is top notch!

I like your video Rod! Seeing your place again brings back good memories.

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...
