Which wastes valuable time.

Jeff Hitch e-mailed us from Mission Viejo in California with a question about silver stain:
Can you please give me some tips on how to paint with silver stains?
I have been using vinegar and brushes with no metal (since I understand there’s an active ingredient in the stain which corrodes the metal).
They paint OK but they just don’t flow as well as other types of paints.
Also, I can’t get them to gradate very well. Can you help?
Yes!
Sue Sills wrote and asked us about mixing glass paint with white vinegar:
“I have only used water and gum for mixing tracing paint so far.
But I was recently told that you can use white vinegar instead of water and that it stopped the paint from drying out so quickly, thus making it better for tracing lines.
Do you know if this is so?”

Gum Arabic isn’t essential. (Patrick Reyntiens, for example, barely uses it at all.) It’s just that, without it, our dried, unfired paint would be extremely fragile.
