Transparent Paints For Glass

Take for a blue pigment Prussian blue, for red crimson lake, for yellow Indian yellow, for brown burnt sienna, for black lamp-black, and for other shades a mixture of the appropriate colors. Rub them in a size made as follows: Venice turpentine 2 ounces, oil of turpentine 1 ounce, and apply with a brush. For temporary purposes, fine and brilliant colors are obtained by dissolving aniline dyes in white shellac varnish, but they are fleeting colors, and do not always pay for the trouble.

How To Perforate Glass

In drilling glass, stick a piece of stiff putty or clay where the hole is required, and make a hole in the putty the size required, reaching down to the glass. Pour a little molten lead in the hole, and if the glass is not too thick, the piece will at once drop out.
