It's totally awesome! I've been using Gallery Glass in my home for more than 2 decades and I just love it! My most recent project is as privacy glass in my bathroom. I'd had created stained glass window looks on my bathroom window back in 2000, but my children picked at it as they sat doing their business. It peels off easily once a lead line is lifted or a portion of paint gets peeled, so they lifted it right off. Years later, I'm finally in the process of creating, freehand, my new privacy glass on the window. My intention is to reverse the image on the top pane for the bottom pane which is, as you can see, currently still covered by a badly faded (year old only) vinyl-type privacy product. Soon to be remedied as I create the bottom pane! The quality is excellent. Transparency doesn't happen until the "paint" dries entirely, and will depend on how thick you apply it. Durability is great - see photo of large window - it was created in 2003 and has just barely faded even though it is in direct sunlight for at least half the day. When used as privacy glass in the bathroom, I tend to use a very thick coat of the paint. It took about 8 hours to completely dry. But if you don't paint it on so thick, it will dry fairly quickly, maybe an hour or so for the entire thing. Tip 1: When applying the lead lines, do not stretch them. They will curl and not stick well. I use an Exacto knife to cut them with precision. Tip 2: After laying the lead lines, apply the immitation lead (black paint) at each joint and allow to completely dry. Tip 3: If applying to an actual window (replacement windows like mine are removable) and you're able, take the window out and lay it on a table to do the lead and painting. Makes life SO much easier. I did this standing. After 8 hours of reaching over my head and squeezing my fat fanny between the window and the toilet, I was exhausted and sore. I'll be sitting at the dining room table to do the bottom pane! LOL Once dry, the paint does look and feel like real glass. I tried to catch a photo so you can see the "sheen". I put this stuff on very thick. It was completely opaque until it dried. Now it is translucent and shiny like glass. I hope it comes across for you! There are tons of patterns, but if you're even remotely artistic, you can do this without one!!! It's great stuff and so much fun! Try it! I highly recommend it!!!

It's a bit tricky to get the hang of and requires a lot of patience to make it look good. Pretty easy to mess up and I wasn't able to prevent air bubbles. It does look cool but I found it's pretty expensive for the amount you get. I'd like to buy more but wish it was a little more affordable or the bottles were a bit bigger!

Really fun and pretty! It does what it says, but there's a bit of a learning curve! A few things that I learned while doing my first project: - The faux lead lines need to be pretty thick so that they stick properly (I accidentally went too thin in some spots and had to redo them the next day). - Don't rub or swirl the paint to spread it. It'll cause bubbles in the finished product. You're better off squeezing it right out of the bottle and going back and forth with it and creating a big, thick coat that way. You'll get better, more even coverage, too. - Maybe obvious, but thinner coats will result in less pigment, and thicker coats will be more vibrant. - Make sure you rinse off or wipe off the cap once you're done if you want to reuse the set later on for another project, or It'll solidify in the tip and block the liquid from coming out.
