Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I made a window mosiac with broken glass and glass beads and used E6000. It looked fine but didn't hold long term. I hadn't seen anything like what i'd made on youtube so It was all trial and error, mostly error! The window has sat in my garage for atleast 3 years. Now I will reglue it with silicone and hang it up on my garden shed! Thank you for being so kind to share your talent with us.

I luv ur art wk Jackie, when u do sea glass onto window frames, does the light shine thru? where are the idea locations for these windows? Do u look for old windows or utilize what u have? Which window frames seem to give u better results?

Thanks The light does shine through nicely making the look of the sea glass change with the changing light. I seek out windows and frames - the more unique the better. Now I have a large collection. I have only used a double pane window once and it was small enough to work, but I look for single pane vintage windows. I get them at yard sales, antiques shops and people give them to me, as they know I collect them.

I find it Depends on how much you use. The more you use the longer it takes to turn clear. I use as little as needed to hold the piece, But I have found that on larger pieces where I've used a lot it can take a few weeks to clear. I've never smeared the whole area - I just put some on each piece as I attach it.

If it's still white, it hasn't finished setting. The longer you leave it the more set it will be. Make sure you have the one that says "dries clear" and not the one that says "white". I have found even the tiniest bit does work on small pieces and it holds over time. Good luck. This doesn't tend to be "fast art".

Vertical glueing is tough with silicone because it takes too long to set and slides out of place. I’ve had bad luck with glues so I would recommend laying the candle stuck down and doing one side at a time. That way you can use silicone.

Go for 1/8 or 3/16 thickness. Some people sell sea glass on Facebook. Join some sea glass Facebook sites. Good luck.

I have a question once you have a piece that has been silicone glued together. And after finish have you ever had to take a piece off and redo it does the silicone grab really hard or can you use a blade and scrape underneath to remove a piece of Seaglass. Or if you pull on a piece of Seaglass does the silicone stretch and Peel . A second question if you cover the piece of glass like a vase all the way around. Without grout. If you wash something like that with soapy warm water. Does it affect the silicone where do pieces come off.

@SeaGlassArtbyJackie

3 жыл бұрын

You can pry the pieces off and scrape off any excess silicone. If covering a surface that isn’t flat you have to have it laying flat and don’t stand it up until it’s set or it will slip out of place. And yes you can submerge it to clean with soap and water. If a small piece falls off just reattach

I put the glass on the front of the glass because I like the texture of the glass. But if you want it to look very flat, you can put the glass on the back - just make sure your adhesive dries clear. Be aware that glue products do dry out and fall off eventually but silicone doesn't.
