Pro Tips

  • Work quickly once paint is inside—Gallery Glass dries fast 
  • Use less paint than you think—it spreads as you swirl!
  • For deeper color, add second layer after first dries 
  • Clean any exterior drips immediately with damp cloth 
  • Display on tree near lights to showcase translucent colors
