Default how to leadlight windows


hehe, not the OS silly, the big clear thing on the side of your case. (if u got one).
first: trace out the shape of ur window (so u know what it looks like)
Second: design on a piece of paper wot u want
Third: attach the design to the underside of the window (so u can see it on the side u wanna draw on).
Fourth: best to lay the window on a relatively flat surface and get ur leadlighting paint. (available at most craft outlets).
Fifth: use the black outline stuff first. Squeeze it gently and trace ur pattern. then leave for about 48-72 hours flat (or itll run) and come back when its dry totally. *i find going and staying at a mate's place without the PC is a good mehtod of letting it dry*
Sixth: Pick your colours and fill in. Using a toothbrush can be a good way to spread the paint out without causing streaks like if u used the tip of the bottle-make sure its smooth, flat and isnt too solid in one spot-unless u want it that way.
Seven: leave that to dry for another 72 hours or so. It shouldnt come off when u touch it or leave finger prints.
Then, apply any touch ups if needed, allow to dry if needed and then replace on the case. Best to have some kind of light source BEHIND the window to shine through your new lead lighted design.
Easy, simple, effective and looksawesome. my next project will be a flame i think.

Yeah, show us a picture or two. Better yet, make a "how to" guide, with some pictures showing the steps.
