Okay so I bought this product so I could make transparent deco sauce for my decoden and clay miniatures. I was very excited because its air dry , its transparent and it comes in a whole bunch of colors including white which meant that I could create even more colors by just adding in pigment.
So I purchased 2 bottles of this Glass paint in 2 colors: Amber and Rose
Oh and I also bought 1 bottle of Kelly’s Non Toxic Glass Stain just to compare it to the Delta Brand
The delta brand really is transparent and dries within a few hours and sets fully after a few days. The lighter color like the rose can be put on pretty thick and its still transparent. The amber color is more transparent when layered on thinly and it wont look as brown as in the pic below it will be a transparent amber.
When it is fully dry it will shrink some and stay dimensional depending on how thick you layer it. It is rather thick and easy to use.
The kelly brand is a stain, It is very fluid , its slightly thicker than water and it can get messy if you move it around too much. As it dries it forms a nice layer of coating , Its transparent and if you want a thicker coating you’ll have to do the process of applying it and drying it several times.
In the pic below the first row is the delta rose, the second row is the delta amber and the third row is the kelly’s glass stain
overall I was very excited to have found a simple to use product that would let me make deco sauce until ………. I turned the delta bottle over to look at the ingredient and I saw the warning below.
It says: WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the state of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.
I do not like using products that have dangerous chemicals especially when making jewelry since children and even adults may put it in their mouths. I like to be able to sleep at night knowing products I make will not cause harm.
Im disappointed that delta glass paint is not non toxic it had all the qualities I wanted in a transparent deco sauce. At least the kelly brand is non toxic.
I’ll have to check out other brands of transparent glass paint and see if I can find a non toxic one to use.
I hope this post was helpful.
