Glass Stain

Description

Dala Glass Stain is a solvent-based, transparent colour product with a high viscosity that is ideal for working on flat, smooth surfaces such as glass, perspex or acetate. The glaze dries to a flat, glossy finish that is level with the horizontal surface it’s used on.

Use in conjunction with Dala Glass Liners.

 

Please Note: Glass Stain is permanent.

Craft Hack:

Glass Stain:

Need to adjust the intensity of your glass stain? We’ve got you covered!

Here are two great options for diluting your glass stain and achieving the perfect shade:

• Plain Acetone: A common household solvent found in most pharmacies. It weakens the colour intensity and thins the stain for easier application. You can even use it to clean your brushes after you’re finished!

• Clear Glass Stain: This product, available from DALA, allows you to dilute the colour without affecting the consistency of the stain, unlike acetone. Pro Tip: Avoid using nail polish remover, even though it contains acetone. The additional ingredients in nail polish remover can alter the stain and damage your brushes. Additionally, with regards to cleaning the brushes, lacquer thinners were found to clean the brushes efficiently.

How to Use:

IDEAL FOR: GLASS, PERSPEX, ACETATE, GLAZED POTTERY AND MORE!

Dala Glass Stain is a decorative paint suited to colouring objects with a smooth, ideally transparent surface. Pefect for thicker, heavier materials like glass, or perspex objects (sheets; boxes, bottles and more); or lightweight, thin materials like acetate. For best results use in conjunction with Dala Glass Liners; as well as working on a flat, level surface.

Line your design using Dala Glass Liners and wait for the lines to dry completely.

Dip your paintbrush into the Glass Stain and gently apply it, filling in the depressions in your design. The thinner the layer of Glass Stain, the lighter the colour in the design will be. Apply more product if you require a deeper colour.

Fill all the spaces that need the same colour within the design at the time.

Allow to dry on a flat, protected surface for 30 minutes before handing or applying another colour. Colours can be layered ontop of one another for creative effects!
