Always wanted a stained glass window? Intimidated by cutting glass and fingers, applying hot leading and toasted fingers?
Translucent vinyl to the rescue! With almost 60 translucent colors available from Oracal Mfg. (my vinyl of choice) the options are limited only by your imagination.
Translucent vinyl can be applied to any glass, and most plastic surfaces. Picture the morning sunlight filtering through your “stained glass” skylight as you take your shower. Why not have a rainbow of color next to your tub instead of those heavy glass blocks that were popular for awhile? Privacy and beauty. No view or privacy from your bedroom windows – translucent to the rescue.
Pop over to the library and look up stained glass pattern books or look at pictures of old churches for inspiration. Make a copy of your favorite and take it to you local sign shop. Expect to pay a bit for this product because of the work involved but you will find it to be less expensive than the real thing.
Here’s another selling point – although the outdoor durability is 7 years and indoors probably almost double that, when you get tired of it, just grab a razor blade knife and scrape it off.
