Help, How do I seal stamping on glass?

[voithofer]

Ok, I've tried everything I thought I was supposed to. I used Stayzon Ink and then sharpie markers to color in the image. Then, after dry, I sprayed it with folkart clearcote acrylic sealer. All it did was make it foggy and then it peeled off. I am so darn irritated. I also had another sealer that I tried and had the same results. What do I use to seal this and make it so it doesn't just peel off? I love the idea of stamped glass, but can't figure out how to achieve it. Please help!! I've got a vendor fair in a few weeks and I really wanted a few "wow" things to show on the table.

Ohhh.... I really want to know too. I was going to stamp a large square, clear glass vase for my Thanksgiving flowers.

Any help would be appreciated! :mrgreen:

This was posted somewhere else and I replied, but I will reply again. The only way I have had success with stamping on glass is with pigment ink and emboss it. Be careful, the glass gets VERY hot and if it is thin glass, it could explode. I did this on Christmas ornaments one year and they turned out very nice. The embossed image can be picked off, but at least it doesn't rub off.

Hope this helps!

Some one else somewhere talked about covering the image with crystal effects. Don't remember where I read it.
