My heartfelt thanks for the 2 tutorials I have downloaded. I am new to glass painting and you could not have made it more simpler and addictive!!!

God bless you and a big thank you from me!!!

Thanks for your order (your DVD is packed and ready to go with the morning post) – and also for your question!

The best thing for an undercoat is … the very same paint you use to trace and shade. That’s we wouldn’t suggest you use the glass residue from the grinder tray.

You’ll see it all on the DVD and also read about in in Glass Painting Techniques & Secrets Part 1: how to make a lump of glass paint, how to dilute this lump a little at a time into whatever consistency of paint you want … from the a light mixture suitable for undercoating right through to the darkest mixture you’ll ever need for silhouetting.

I know this is a lot to take in at one go but of course you don’t need to! – because we’re here to work with you over the weeks, months and years ahead.

Go at your own pace and do things well, and we’ll always be here to answer your questions.

Happy 2011!
Stephen

I notice your reference to undercoating, and would like to know if the glass grinding residue from the glass grinder tray could be used to make an undercoat medium? If so, what would have to be added?

Thank you for your information.

I’m also looking forward to getting the DVD just ordered.
Cheers guys!
