I want to try to put an iridescent coating on some of my glass pieces.
I have read the procedure on this site but am having difficulty getting a glass sprayer to apply the solution. Can anyone suggest where I can get a suitable sprayer and has anyone used this procedure? If you have done it are there any special tricks or things I should know other than what is written on this site? Thanks for any information.

Re: Iridescent glass
well, it has to be sprayed on when the glass is hot, over about 1200 i believe. also, doing this without proper precautions can kill you pretty quickly.Aussie Kev wrote:I want to try to put an iridescent coating on some of my glass pieces.

Hi,
I've sprayed my own irid for the last 3 years, I could never find a spraYER I liked.because the temp is so high,but I use a plastic srayer,inexpensive and just use it till the tip melts. to make it impossible.
Be sure to make saftey #1.I follow "glassnotes" formula and it works very well.
Be aware there will be a large cloud after chemicals hit the hot glass.
But its way cool to do. vent vent vent your area. :
