Glass Paint – How Long Can You Keep It For?

A good question from a colleague in Maryland, USA:

I am an experimental physicist in mid-career and very busy with work – so my time spent on stained glass and glass painting is very sporadic – it has been 8 or 10 months since my last project.

Is it OK to make the lump of paint (as you teach) and leave it for 6 months to a year?

Should it be tended to periodically over that time?

Will it “come back” and be usable after a very long time?

And the answers are …

There are so many brilliant comments here. So just this once I’ll extend the viewing deadline until sun down today. After that, the 30-minute clip will disappear forever.

People who’ve seen it say it’s really useful.

So here’s the last chance for anyone who’s missed it:
