Are stained glass paints the same as the glass enamels youre describing?
A. They are similar, yes. They are enamels. Theyre sold by the same distributors that sell glass enamels. The traditional stained glass colors sold by Reusche and Standard Ceramics (see supplier list below) mature at temperatures around 1250F. The traditional stained glass paints are less vividly colored or are more opaque than the typical glass enamel. Their role in the craft of stained glass is more one of blocking out light and creating value gradation than in altering or changing color hue of the glass.
