Glass paints

Post by S. Klein »

I'm working with an artist in Norway. She has a large (old) supply of "Scanart" powders that she thinks might be paint. Does anyone know anything about these products? Also, "Satellite Unique" paints. Thanks

Heres a link to a catalog from some place in Sweden that sells 'ScanArt' glass paints. See page 22

Satellite Unique paints were the progenitor of 'Unique Glass Colors' .

It bugs me that they advertise the 'NT' version of Unique Glass Colors as nontoxic. I understand that you can probably get away with it under ACMI guidelines, but certainly the stuff has powdered glass in it if it matures at 1500F. I wouldn't let a kid use it unsupervised.
