I have ordered a clear siam tank.  ...Should be fun. I don't think I will be making these to sell so no worries. The ones off the glass site were £30 for 4 including P+P which kind of defeats the object. I got a quote and everything.. Everyone have a good day Jane |

Depends how good my glass painting skills are warlord... I have the glass tank.... from siam mods with o-rings. Now to get grommets from halfords (tried it out with chibi grommets. fine. No leaks. just a little loose) which I may get tomorrow. Don't know. Lovely tank btw Anyhow I got the paints. Just a few for £2.99 and some brushes so may well paint it before lunch. Will be interesting to see how long it takes to dry Watch this space Jane |

I just painted it. Garden style. I've varnished it as well (will take a while to dry) cos enamel paints chip off. I might lightly sandpaper any more I do and get different glass paints. Don't know. Too skint to try any right now. Unless I just get one or two or three colours (£10).... But still.....see how the varnish goes. It's not glass varnish so I don't know if it'll make any difference but I think with glass paints you have to be careful they don't peel off. I now have varnish all over my hands though  Jane |

I agree Jane pictures would be lovely to see sometimes ya have to suffer a little for your art - so far i've burnt myself got covered in pink and purple paint and clear coat and got superglue all over my finger which is a pain to get off and makes your finger get a weird feeling when you press on anything like there's no nerve endings lol
