Hey, does anybody remember the product that Rick Glawson used in his reverse glass pictorial painting? Something about painting it regular on some type of paper then transfering the paint/picture onto the glass. I'm doing a restoration job for myself, part of it has a picture, kinda detailed, on glass, in reverse. Oringinally, it was screened. But I just want to hand paint it.

We used to call it 'duplex' paper, when I bought some in about 1985...coated with water-soluble gum.
Not sure where you'd get it these days, but it is about, or else you can make your own.

You can see when paper is wet all trough and ready to be removed, worked for med 13 years ago, so unless they have cahnged the formula of the backingpaper it is garanteed

Love how your brain works Alicia. You should have your own reality show on TV. Here's a real good chance to do a step by step or one of them fancy new videos.

I believe Rick's method used decal paper.... the kind used for printing water transfer decals. You can paint on the paper with OneShot or maybe even HOK.. (have not tried the HOK).... I don't think water base paints would work as the paper is coated with a water soluble glue. When your paint work is dry coat the piece with decal adhesive and let it dry. Wet the front of your decal, apply it to the glass and squeegee out any air bubbles. Once that has dried sufficiently, wet the back of the paper and let if soak in a bit.... then carefully remove the paper. I would do some test pieces first.....
I don't know where to get the paper other than to call silk screen suppliers. You might even be able to make your own decal paper by coating ordinary paper with the adhesive... The No. 2040 decal adhesive I have came from International Coatings Company in Cerritos, Ca. If you can't find any I will send you some....
