Can a glass piece made on No Days Q Stik be fitted vertically in a window (10 1/2"w x 23" h) without problems? I'm planning on building a window to fit a south facing window in Arizona. In the fall, winter & spring, the sun will be directly hitting the window. The room in the summer is not air conditioned, so inside temperature will be about 85-90 degrees.
Thanks!
Hi~
Are you wanting to do a mosaic on
glass? The QStik isn't transparent, so you would be able to see the film
between any pieces of glass. Carrie

Hi, Carrie~
I finished the 2 windows. I really like and enjoy using your products. The only
problem I had was if the glass was uneven on the back the glue wasn't
adhering to all the surface.Thanks for your help!
Hope you enjoy the pictures; the design came from a few pictures and my brain!

Update:
To answer the question in the comments below and to clarify (ha!) the point of transparency, I've included some pictures of my own project that I threw together in 3 hours + plus grouting.

You'll notice that the non-transparency of the Q-Stik becomes a problem if you're looking at the panel from the back, without back-lighting. |
Hope this helps to clear up some of the questions. If not, let me know and I'll try to help out further!

Your windows are beautiful! I'm confused about the comment that the Q-stick is not transparent. Isn't it transparent once the backing is removed? What did you use to frame the windows?
ReplyDeleteI've updated the post and added some pictures, so hopefully that helps to answer some of your questions. :)
DeleteThe windows above are by artist Bobbi Barnes. I'm not sure what she used to frame them, but it looks like patinated zinc edge came. There is a thin film between the Pressure Sensitive Adhesive and Heat Sensitive Adhesive sides of the Q-Stik, so it's not transparent. With the choices in glass that Bobbi used, though, you can't tell. I'll try and get a photo example added to the bottom of this post in the next couple of days... Carrie
