Awesome

[@MarkMcCluney]

I had no idea it would be so messy! Thank you as always Tom, that was an education and the final result looks very impressive.

[@zelousfoxtrot3390]

Your project reminds me of what I'm doing right now- restoring/repairing an antique window about 15"X32" (40cmX75cm approximately ), with little to no experience that's 15 years ago! So glad I can see others have pulled this off! Clear instructions .

It's beautiful

[@pteddie6965]

I love this project, Tom. It's especially striking installed in the window opening.
You're a wiz, my man. Thanks for sharing this video.

Thanks! You live in a city called "Tool"?

[@robinhood3112]

@@AlleyPicked Yes sir. Ironic isn't it. I'm in East Texas about 70 miles from Dallas.

Nothing to be jealous about just a little country lake town

Nice!

[@blaiseconroy9960]

hey that was so cool can you do more videos on stained glass for us beginners? pretty please?

[@AlleyPicked]

Sure. Have you seen my stained glass playlist? th-cam.com/play/PLrb30Zy6QqbuZbb9hFZYlvtN29fiwlwl4.html

[@sucrebaba2656]

Your work is wonderful and very enjoyable. Sir, can you tell me what this dough is made of?

[@alanmcwilliams4264]

Impressive

[@ipravoqator]

hello, can you tell me the manufacturer of the grout or do you make it yourself?

[@diggingeverydaydean8080]

One more question....how long do you leave the whiting on for? Also I seen people leave there panels sit for 48 hours before cleaning process?

[@AlleyPicked]

I apply the whiting before the cement has a chance to setup and harden on my glass. The whiting mixes with the cement and turns it to powder for easy removal. If you wait until the cement dries, then what would be the point of the whiting? I'm careful not to dig the bristles deep under the lead. I don't want to remove any cement under the lead.

[@askallthequestions8476]

Thank you. I am repairing a stained glass door, the glass is intact but since it’s around 100 years old the cement has cracked out of some places and the glass is loose. How long does it take for the cement to cure on one side before working on the other side? Much appreciated!!

[@AlleyPicked]

It dries fairly quickly. I believe I gave mine 24 hours in between.

[@marieroche1404]

Patina?

[@karenwright1248]

I have light colored putty. I've already applied to project. Is there any way to darken it? Or for the next project, can I darken the putty before using?

[@AlleyPicked]

They sell concrete stain at home depot which you can use to mix with the putty before using. It may also work on the existing putty -- never tried it after the fact, but I think it might do the job.

[@karenwright1248]

thanks can stop at Home depot tomorrow!

[@diggingeverydaydean8080]

Did you patina your panel or leave it plain.... just wondering as I'm going to cement my first panel this week.

[@AlleyPicked]

Hi. Thanks for watching my video. i din not apply any patina chemicals. After brushing the cement, the lead became darker and I like it just the way it was.

[@scottfantastic1]

How much of that cement did you end up using on that project?

[@AlleyPicked]

Can't remember exactly but I believe I used about 3/4ths of the container.

[@scottfantastic1]

@Alley Picked thank you. It was a very helpful video.

[@JasperJanssen]

Is cement putty what the traditional (say medieval) glassmakers would do? If not, what did they do instead, and when did it change?

Beautiful!
