What fake broken glass is the most realistic?

What is a good way to soften the edges of broken glass?

  • Alright, I know this is strange, but this is just something I up and descided to try doing. I broke a small vase and want to put it back together in an interesting way. I actually wanted to know 3 things. 1) Is there a way to soften the edges just a bit or something that I can put over them that wouldn't interfere with paint? 2) what is the best kind of pain to use on glass? 3) What is the best kind of glue to use on glass? Thank you!

  • Answer:

    to soften edges on glass, would be to heat/ melt, other option is dremel tool/ griding, possibly under water to reduce vibration frequency while sanding/ filing, if glass is not actual glass, but ceramic glass, that may be different in applying softer edges, paint on glass would be more like firing with glazes, aside from that, enamel paints. model paint, nail polish, Decoart has paints for glass as example, http://www.decoart.com/products/product_home/paintforglass_only.html for glass, there may be special glues similar to ceramic glue or Krazy glue, there is automotive glass windshield adhesive glues use for repairing and sealing, http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Marine/Home/Products/Catalog/?PC_7_RJH9U5230GE3E02LECIE20S4K7_nid=Z777MMR7KSbeQH8HT14PGTgl go to craft shops or hobby shop to see what they recommend for this project, ..

heating up edges w/small torch will soften them,..or turn them into a puddle before hardening into a new shape if not careful.

Sand it with sandpaper until you are satisfied.
