In your opinion, would this glass work to help me paint military miniatures? I can't see the details anymore. :(

yes it can help Amazon also have a bigger one that may be ever better . You have a bless day.

I think it would be good for that purpose. However, I have not used it for extended periods of time, so I can't say if it gets tiring to use.
1796755
Yes, it is a handy thing to have, I use it all the time for very small things I can't see with the naked eye.
1796756
Yes it sure could. I have one eye that had a retina bleed and went almost blind and I can see to string beads on the elastic. It has two sides so I'm sure if one side isn't enough turn the magnifier over and that side will be stronger.
1796757
I should think so. Yes. I get both my hands under there when stitching. I love my magnifier.

Is probably not practical for paint....unless you were mixing mass quantities. Putting this in a full container of paint would probably be a mess... but I wouldn't do a mortar job without it

The metallics take a bit longer than the flat and gloss finishes in my experience. You can thin it for better results, but using thinner coats of it straight from the bottle may work for you as well, depending on your painting technique (hand painted Vs. airbrush, etc.) Try thinner coats applied to the plastic model and doing multiple coats where applicable, first. If that doesn't/already isn't working, then try thinning it out progressively. You can practice on plastic spoons/knives to get your method down without running any potential risk with your model pieces.

Get a picture frame with glass on both sides and hang it like a normal painting. That's what I did!

I haven't tried using this particular paint on glass before. You can get chalkboard paint for glass at a local craft store (cheaper) -- that's what I use.

Although it would work, I think it could weaken the structural integrity of the glass. Abrasive etching would be a better solution.

I used the spray can and shot the whole cavity, came out smooth as glass and still looks great after months of use - make sure you have good ventilation. Guess it depends on whether you're covering a chip / scratch - I'd get the brush-on if available but for a larger area go with the spray and sand everything well before painting...

The surface is not glass smooth. It has a surface similar to when you mix sand in paint for texture.

Weapons get fiddly mostly because your going to be sandwich casting them. Which leads to lots of flashing and strange lines from you putty. Jot saying it can't be done but your Bette off RTV moulding and 2 part resin casting. You'll get better results. All that as side, for action figures 6"+ a one off copy it will do the job. >1" ie wahammer/war machine/pathfinder models its going to be more effort trying to clean up a cloned part with out destroying the part.Source: GW tau crisis feet/leg and weapon bits cloning.

I'm not sure what you mean by "crackle finished"? Are you speaking of painted crackle effects or something involving heat? I would think any superficial treatment of paints and resists would not matter that the glass was tempered or not? If you are speaking of cracking the glass, as in fried marbles, then I would think not?

In my own personal experience I find it works better if you wait until the paint has cured. I use decoart gloss enamels when I paint on glass.

I used this on a steel boat tank. My tank needed a repaint so I did not need to be careful. It did not seem to peel paint that it got on. I would not want to get it on good paint though, as it is very tenacious and not easily removed. I do not know how it would effect a plastic or fiberglass tank. It can be painted once dry and seems to be holding up well. Mike

I imagine it would work. I would make sure the tank doesn't have any condensation on it before applying the paint. The finish dries shiny, so if the color matches, I think it would be fine.

This is intended to make the paint more flexible after drying, making it great for fabric. However I wouldnt recommend it particularly for figurines, an acrylic model paint would serve you better.

my use for this paint has been for detail work in coloring 50 caliber ammunition belts for vintage military aircraft and armored vehicle models.as such, I do not know how it would compare to powder coating on larger items.

Hello, Tammy. Glass of this size is not something that we ship except what is part of the DreamLine kits. Your best bet is to work with a local glass shop and have them fabricate the piece of glass you are needing.

I used this to paint the screened lid of an outdoor fireplace. The 3/4" inch wide main supports (that the screen attaches to) and the ring still look great. I painted the screen as well and I think some of the paint has burned away, but this was a light coat on a very thin mesh. I think it will work for you.
