Glad to find your techniques and that you're a Packers Fan! 👍👍
Thanks so much for this video. Acid pushes the texture out toward the viewer, and I’ve had a design stuck in my mind for years that requires the texture to be farther away from the viewer. Thanks for freeing me!
Glad you found it useful!!!
You’ve demonstrated so many techniques for us that I’m a bit ashamed that I’ve been so stubborn about creating something with them. I have a lot of the supplies you’ve used on hand, so I need to get off my arse. Lol. I just really wanted my first piece to be chipped and I’ve never got a sandblasting setup together (lacking the cabinet mainly). Great watching your work, as always Paul! Cheers! 🍻
Thanks Ted! You should take the plunge mate. It’s so rewarding and once you get started you won’t want to stop. There are plenty of processes that you can do without a sand blaster and some are as striking as glue chipped glass.
You’ve got the software and design side of things nailed so I have no doubt you’ll be a natural 🤜🤛
Ted, I've made you a playlist of techniques you can do in the home, without power tools :)

@@happygilder Thank you so much! You wouldn’t believe the supplies I have for a “non-producer”. Time to get crafty!
@@TYoung023 Looking forward to seeing your creations!! :D
First I was just thinking I'd airbrush and combine glass chipping, now I have a use for all that epoxy and UV resin I keep around. This channel has inspired me!
That's great, I'm really glad you're going to give it a try!! :D
@@happygilder I was looking for different methods to make use of a bunch of left over glass shelves I have and I know some some glass can't be chipped properly so the resin will be a good option.
Another excellent video, and it puts more texturing techniques within our reach. I've been very leery of using glue chipping, as I have a number of dogs and they are very good at getting to things they shouldn't.
Glad you enjoyed it! Yes it’s always a risk with glue chipping. I’ve got 2 dogs so I always do it in a room that they aren’t allowed in :)
It's great to know that I can do it with epoxy. there are so many inlays for epoxy ahhh the possibilities are endless. Thank you for experimenting for us!!
Thanks! Love all your videos. I've been watching since the beginning. Keep up the great work!
I've always wanted to make a mirror for my friend who owns a bar about a 2 hour drive from my home. He and I were in the Navy together and a really good friend. I need to get off my butt and do this!
By the way, is the pearl glue you use to chip glass with the same thing we call "Hide Glue" in the US? I searched for Pearl Glue here and it keeps taking me to "Hide Glue". I wasn't sure if it was the same thing so I thought I'd ask you.
Thanks John, I really appreciate it! Happy new year :D
Hi John, yes it is. I've tried different types of Hide Glue and the Liberon Pearl glue is the best I've come across
The textured resin one came out great. The possibilities of making your own patterns/designs is cool. You will need a strong mold release though, you see how hard it was to pull the silicone mat off. Silicone is as non-stick as it gets, but epoxy is extremely adhesive. I'd do a small test first on some scrap glass. I see a possibility where someone could print the 3d design on a resin printer in clear, then epoxy it to the glass, hopefully maintaining clarity. The resin can be clear coated afterwards if it's not transparent enough. Then gilding over that. You could do some really interesting dimensional stuff. Great vid!
Thanks Richard!! I haven't tested the rubber stamp material so I don't know if it's as 'non stick' as silicone. I'll be testing it very soon though :)
I like the epoxy.
I used it myself, but never with the silicone sheet.
Will definitely do something with it soon.
Probably make my own texture sheet.
Cheers Erik, glad you found it useful!
Good video. Another way you can use epoxy is to place dots on the glass. It holds a dome shape without flattening down and gives a very pretty rivet look after gilding. Great used in borders or for cabochons in letters.
Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely by giving it a try!!
Só tenho a agradecer por essas aulas. Aqui no Brasil não temos esse tipo de conteúdo.🎉 thanks
Thanks very much, I'm really glad you're enjoying the videos!
enjoy watching your videos, thanks
Thanks!
Great technique !
Thank you Sean! 🙏
I really quick note; about 50 years ago a chemist from DuPont came to my spray booth (I was the head spray painter with DOD back then) and we had a conversation about a new epoxy call "Emron" they made. He told me that the base was Enamel and the hardener agent was the chemical that turned it into an epoxy... so I tried "One Shot" lettering enamel and mix is about 30% of the activator and pinstriped a motorcycle tank. I then the next day clear coated it with clear Emron ... no cracking or lifting... it was a secret I told no one(!) ... as finally I could bury enamel hand lettering and pinstripes under a clear coat.... It will set in about 20-25 minutes as it's self leveling.
Important; It is toxic and you should wear a respirator (Charcoal) and have a booth or spark free fan running .... also you can absorb the activator through your skin, so wear rubber gloves when painting, mixing or cleaning you gear!
An interesting and wonderful explanation that shortens a lot of research. Thank you, artist
I have a question, if you'll excuse me. Is it possible to use car paint on glass?
Thanks very much!
I've never used it myself but I can't see any reason why car paint wouldn't work. I suppose it depends how thick it is as to whether it would go on evenly. Signwriting enamels are very thick and opaque so you only need a couple of coats
@@happygilder Thank you very much, Mr. President Putin 😁
@@s7ega 😂😂😂
I'm pretty late to the game, but I'm curious if this would work with a fine stencil
Not sure if it's been mentioned but with the epoxy you could speed up the process using a 1 part UV curable epoxy. The type that cures within minutes under a UV light.
Maybe a quick 2 minute's or so under the UV to thicken it up, do Ur design then back under the UV to cure fully.
I haven't tried this yet but just a thought.
Love your work, keep it up!!
Thanks for the tip!! I'll add it to my list of things to try this year :D
@@happygilder I'll have to try it out myself too 👍
Привет..я не понимаю англиского языка.но по моему вы все доходчиво обясняете..Я постоянно наблюдаю и смотрю вашы видео.Удачи вам и здоровья!
Thanks very much!!
Very nice sir. ❤
Thanks!!
Bro you're so dope😎 Where are you located, I'm flying to meet you someday🤘 Good work
Thanks man! I live in Norwich England
Cairan lem apa yang anda gunakan teman. Saya seorang pemula yang suka dengan cara anda menyampaikan.
hello, my friend, what is that thing that you put on like polish before you put on gold paper?
Hi, it’s called ‘size’. It’s 1 pint of distilled water with 2 diamonds of leaf gelatine dissolved in it. I heat it in the microwave for 4 mins before use
@@happygilder 💐
Like the way the epoxy turned out.
Cheers mate!!
@@happygilder I will add that because of you & the other RUclipsrs I have a set of brushes & paint ordered to try my hand at some lettering.
@@bigkolb2 that’s really good to hear! Let me know if you need any help along the way 🍻
@@happygilder Will do 🍻
Hi Paul, I'm curious about when to take masking vinyl off. I'd like to try the bar sign you made and the back piece of vinyl has lots of thin lines. Too many and detailed to cut around with a scalpel.
I use a plotter to cut the vinyl before I apply it to the glass. It's really easy to weed out the intricate bits rather than cutting them yourself
@@happygilder thanks for replying Paul. What I meant was when like glue chipping you cut excess off along vinyl then remove vinyl. What about gel medium mix? As I'd like to try the BAR sign with the art deco background which is very detailed.
@@markwootton8855 I’m not sure the dammar method would work on such a detailed piece. The glue holds a gel form for hours so it’s easy to trim it away. I don’t think the gel medium will reach the same consistency as the glue or hold form long enough to peel the vinyl away.
I’d recommend using etching cream and mice to achieve a similar result
would it be possible to experiment with the silicone mat on the damar varnish. Just curious
It works fine but the dammar isn't clear so the epoxy is a nicer finish
Hello from Wisconsin, I assume you are a packer fan? Any ideas on how I can texture lettering on a sandblasted redwood sign,? Resins, glue?Many Thanks.
Hi Mike! I'm a fan of all things Wisconsin. I used to work in Green Bay so it's like a second home to me :D
Wooden signs aren't my forte but I'll help if I can. If you email a picture of the sign to happygilder1@gmail.com I'll have a look at it and see if there are any processes I can recommend
Hi from cedar Rapids iowa, try smalts, ground glass. Looks great
I might be doing something wrong but does anybody have any ideas that might speed up the drying process. After two days it is still too wet to gild.
Hi Cliff, are you using the dammar mix or epoxy? Different epoxy’s have different curing times. It might also be the lack of air getting to it. When I tried using coins to create a relief it wouldn’t set because no air could get to it to dry it
I'm using the 1 Shot UV and res n gel combo. I made my own damar awhile back and I might try that. I did use res n gel with Dux quick dry and that set up in a couple of days with a desk fan blowing on it. That may be the best I can do. Thanks so much for the reply.
I drive a tanker....acid is only dangerous if a person is stupid.
Agreed! But because there are stupid people, it makes getting acid very difficult :)
