My name's Paul and I'm a Reverse Glass Sign Painter from Norwich England.
I created this channel to share all of my techniques for creating ornamental glass signs and mirrors.
From Victorian techniques like Reverse Painting, Glue Chipping and Gold Leaf, to file prep in Industry standard software packages like Photoshop, Illustrator & Vinylmaster.
This channel is aimed at beginners and I want to show that anyone can create beautiful pieces regardless of perceived artistic talent.

And can water thoroughly remove hydrofluoric acid residue from glass? Or is there another reagent needed to clean the hydrofluoric acid residue from the glass?thanks~
hi~What concentration of hydrofluoric acid does not require water addition? Does higher concentration hydrofluoric acid etch deeper?
Oh man this is great news!! Welcome back!
I can't find this product in the USA. What are some other products that would work?
What other video on your channel using the crackle effect?
Yeah 👑 we‘ve missed you ❤
Just when I think I'm out they pull me back in
Awesooooooooooommmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeee
Very glad to have you back!
Can’t wait. Glad you’re back.
Doooo it Paul! I recently suffered a flooded house, water softener ruptured while gone to work, 2800 sq ft flooded with 2" of water EVERYTHING on the floor was damaged. WE MISS YOU!
So glad you're back man!
Get outta here!? For real? Third times a charm.

Amazing what great news! I can’t wait to see more great videos from you Paul. So happy you’re back🔥🔥
@@RyanKlingbyle cheers mate, I’m really looking forward to it. Didn’t realise how much I’d missed making videos 😄
Okay everyone, pony up some money for Paul. Every little bit helps.
Thanks!
@@kevclar thanks very much mate, I really appreciate it!! 🙏
Ted, tell him yes. Been waiting for the return,knew it had to happen. I’m so close to setting up my studio.🎉
@@allenwesley6686 😄 Ted has spoken and it’s good news 🍻

Ohhhhh yeaaaaah!!!!
“People keep asking me if I’m back. Yeah. I’m thinking im back.”
Привет! А я думал куда пропал мой любимый мастер?! С возвращением! 👍
Thank you! I'm really looking forward to getting started!
Finally some decent stuff to watch on UA-cam again
Cheers mate!!
Your scroll work is beautiful ❤, thankyou for your video I've finally found where I was going wrong, so thankyou so much.
Bro you're so dope😎 Where are you located, I'm flying to meet you someday🤘 Good work
Thanks man! I live in Norwich England
I been thinking about you, I hope you're doing well
I'm doing well thanks, I hope all is good with you!
Are you a traveling man?
I'm not a member of the travelling community if that's what you mean. If you're talking about travelling in general, I've seen a fair bit of the world :)
@@happygilder Thank you for the answer. Seeing the several square and compasses, I thought of the possibility of you being a Masonic brother. I am going to miss the channel
Can you glue chip glass then use the silver nitrate process to make it mirrored?
@@lrngoodman you can indeed. In my video about making a mirror I use a piece of glue chipped glass at the end :)
@@happygilder thanks!
The earth shattering kaboom, is if you converted it into silver fulminate by accident. Washing the glass with an alcohol could be a pathway? Maybe sodium carbonate and silver nitrate then ammonia? Another channel mentioned a saturated salt water solution might be a way out before it becomes an illuddium q-36 space modulator.
Hey what glue do you use? I’ve used other glues that leave a residue
@@cassreads3606 I now use Oneshot UV clear instead of glue
Ich danke Dir für die vielen tollen Videos Paul! Durch dich bin ich zu meinem schönsten Hobby gekommen, ich werde Dir für immer dankbar sein für deine Tips auch über private Nachrichten! Danke,Danke ! ❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the kind words and following the channel 🙏
Hey Happy Gilder, you haven't released any vids in a while... is everything OK?
I’m fine thanks :) I retired from UA-cam after my house flooded at the beginning of the year
@@happygilder I'm so sorry about your house. I'm happy you're alive! Was worried so thank you for letting me know! All the best to you HG!!!
Great video!! What kind of paint would you recommend to use on glass, before silvering?
@@marinacarr7010 asphaltum is resistant to the chemicals. Enamel won’t hold up though
@@happygilderThank you. I looked up asphaltum paint because I didn’t know what it was. I only found a colour of paint named Asphaltum. If enamel was paint isn’t appropriate, can you please recommend the type of paint that would be suitable to paint onto glass before silvering? Thank you.
@@marinacarr7010 asphaltum is also referred to as Brunswick Black. It’s oil based paint.
Great work! So, by adding the stroke, you’ve made a female to male die?
@@patriot9560 exactly that :)
What a great video. I happened to be riding on the bus and asked myself "How are mirrors made?" Thanks for sharing your expertise.
Thanks very much, I’m glad you enjoyed it! :)
How do I dispose of the etching cream thats on the glass ? Is a hose pipe and a plastic bucket ok ? What will happen if i pour it down the toilet or sink ? or drain outside ?
hello. Im doing gilding with copper on glass,, to get an antique mirror effect ,,,, any advise about this material _ is it copper acting the same as gold or silver ,,, thanks !
Can you tell us about antique mirror making methods?
Thanks for explaining all of this
Do you know if this would wear off after washing it if used on drinking glasses?
@@bstessl yes it would wash off eventually.
@@happygilder that's what I figured, thanks for the response!
BEATIFUL!!!
@@mario-gt9gz thanks!!
