:teacher:How and when does it start

Vickie ... would love to join ... how?

Painting is on my list right now. Trying desperately to figure it out. Have the books, REALLY confused on the what kind of paint issue.

1 - I want to paint Christmas ornaments on glass like birds, santa, etc. which would be nice in opaques. So I am leaning toward Unique Glass Colors which are more designed for float glass because of the high firing temps. Some ornaments in transparents would be nice but Unique doesn't have a great palette of transparents like reds and Christmas colors.

BUT ...

I would also like to paint landscape, wildlife scenes on pieces to be fused for pendants ... but ... because I would like to use some System 96 and Uroboros I can't use the Unique Colors because they would end up puddles of glass.

I REALLY want to get going on this ... Christmas isn't too far off ... but right now I have researched this to death and feel like I am :frustrated:


I took a peek at your stuff on Etsy ... WOW ... great colors and designs ... VERY nice work!!! What kind of paints do you use?

I have lost nearly 100 pieces, at a value of nearly $2,000.00, due to the failure of Delta Permenamel surface conditioner. Their technical department confirmed the failure, the Director of Marketing approved the claim for time and materials, and the President declined reimbursement to me stating that Delta is not in the business of reimbursement! Most importantly, he stated to me that the company does not and will not guarantee the products.

I have painted thousands of pieces, with fantastic results, never one dissatisfied client....you might say I was a Delta disciple, proficient in every way in the application of these products.......but I am no longer that gal. I will never touch this product again.

I lost the ability to sell these 100 pieces and Delta Creative is responsible, and Iam now suffering the aftermath. Loss of inventory to sell, loss of revenue to purchase glass, paint, book future shows. Cut off at the knees.

I'm posting this to give other Glass Painters using Delta Permenamel products the opportunity to weigh the risk that they are taking when using this paint. And to seriously evaluate the consequences, if the process fails. You will have no recourse.

I have reported Delta Creative with the Better Business Bureau, and will take further steps if necessary for them to right this wrong.

Finally, when you read that label that says "dishwasher safe", what it should really say is "sometimes dishwasher safe" or perhaps...."dishwasher safe only at the Delta Plant.
