Great instructions. Beautiful results. The seal on the stationary portion of my kitchen window apparently wore out and so that part of it has become discolored with white spots in between the two panes. Before I replace the window I am going to try this method. It's so lovely anyway that I want to use it on one of my hutches as well. This way my window will remain functional for now AND look gorgeous. New windows aren't cheap. Thanks.

@@VintageBeeDesign I looked again, I know why you kept. It is a nice colour and the glass fabulous I want to do thexmirror glass and stencil on my front door. It's an old Victorian era home, and the original glass was that etched glass, however only one piece left inside in the door into the living room, that is red with a pattern. I have always wanted to do etched glass in the front door but expensive to buy it, the red is way expensive. Now I see this I think the mirror glass and stencil is the way to go. I know you can now buy etching paste but I like this. Is there a final reveal where you put them that I could look at?

@karenw8929 2 года назад

Thank you ... I have a vintage airstream and two of the windows look terrible because there is an interior UV film between two layers of glass that is cracked and curling and can't be removed until I take the entire two-window assembly apart. I'm going to use this technique to camouflage the cracked UV, but without the background coat because I want the light to show through ... may be a disaster, but this is the best method I can think of, temporarily, to make the windows decorative in a way that will let light through and use the crackle as a design element. Experimenting by the seat of my pants! lol

You will need to use a product to remove the back of the mirror. It’s much more difficult, but still feasible. You just have to remove the glass and backing (without breaking them) first.

@VintageBeeDesign 2 года назад

I do my pattern, then use mirror spray, then metallic spray (they have a different look than each other). The metallic silver will look like the mirror has lost it’s reflectiveness. So, you’ll have the shiny mirror and the “dull “ mirror, just like real mercury glass.

I stumbled upon your video and I was blown away by your project! I've NEVER commented on a RU-vid video!

When you say background color, what do you recommend? Do you mean the color behind the mercury glass? If so, you could go with almost anything. Why not try a navy blue? You can always practice on thrifted art first!
