What kind of glass are you starting with and what kind of paint are you using? Is it kiln fired?

Where did you get the glass?

Very nice looking points.
Good paintjob too
I'm glad you're back.

I used to lightly spray glass points while I was knapping them so I could see what I was flaking.
I also have some old glass etching cream that can be brushed on then washed off to give them a white frosted look.
The etching cream will etch chert too and make it look like frosted glass.
