| 2008-09-05 | Yolanda Elston | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Actually, after it rained today, we noticed some water at the bottom of the inside of the stained glass. So, it is apparent that the exterior stained glass pane is NOT waterproof. We'll give you a call! Thanks |

| 2007-12-17 | jennifer | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you Valerie. I did wash the glass with alcohol, and that helped a little but not enough. Now I'm off to buy some glycerin and will try mixing a small batch with that. |

Expertise
Visit our web site at www.churchwindows.net. I can answer questions about restoration and repair of stained glass windows and their surrounds. I can, also, answer technical questions regarding matching old glass, glass painting (kiln-fired), waterproofing panels (cementing), re-inforcing, removal, and installation. I can not answer questions on glass casting, Dalle de Verre, or glass blowing.
