How to Varnish Painted Glass

Video Transcript

"JASON PAINTER: Hi, I'm Jason. Today, we're painting on glass. We've been through all the steps of defining the outlines and putting in detail and review cheats with the sharpie, second coat on and everything. Now, the final thing to do with this is the final clear coat. And you buy that right along the same place as you buy the enamel. Get one that air dries and one that's waterproof. With this, use your flat, broad bush and to keep it looking the best, it's best to not paint on the glass itself. Try to just get the air up, put the coat on the paint rather than on the glass. It'll keep--it'll actually leave a line around it, if you get it on the glass. It's not important. It won't hurt anything if it goes out there. It will just look a little bit better. You just keep it right in the paint. So, apply that, make sure that you've got it everywhere and to keep track of where you've got it, try to go in sections. Try to do one section at a time all the way across. I like to work from top to bottom, go down to a certain point, and I've done this. Now, I can move down and I'll do across the eyes. That way, I know I've covered every area with the sealant. If I don't get the sealant everywhere, then, the time, the water, everything will wash it away. So, it's really important to make sure you get it, distributed it evenly out throughout the paint."
