WARNING! animals love hide glue, be sure if you attempt this to cover it and clean up very well. Please for our 4 legged friends be careful!. Nice chipping
glad u show us this method of glue chipping, that 1part by 2part really effective by the chipping effect and time consuming.. bought chipping glue while ago after been inspire by your tutorial.. greeting from malaysia!❤️
Hi ya Paul. Great video. I think you might have made a mistake at the end with the results. You've turned the mirror around so the first one is actually the last one and the last one is the first one. Anyway, great chanel mate. 👍👍
I noticed that and was looking at the responses to see if anyone else had noticed/commented. Thanks for doing so, and for getting Paul's confirmation. Cheers.
WOW, what a bonus. That brochure you made availible is TOPS. Its incredible. thanks for making that for download. There is a lot of inspiration in that piece.
Okay, now I know why they're all different! I saw this happen on my borosilicate bed plate on a 3D printer when a printed part really stuck but I didn't realise you could do it on purpose. Good demo!
Thanks Mark! I think glue chipped glass would look awesome on the pieces you make, so definitely let me know if you give it a try. I'd love to see what you come up with
Very nice comparison. I think I'll start to try gilding soon. It looks rather easy and nice to do. Mainly because you show how to do this so clearly and I have an idea for something to guild. Keep up the work 👍👍
Great timing as I have just had a go at chipping! I have just trialled on some scrap glass with vinyl masking and its encouraging. Next will be on a mirror. Haven't got a vinyl cutter so using my laser direct onto the pre-applied vinyl and then picking away the unwanted areas. Keep up the excellent videos.
I've been doing loads of 3d-printing, and there is a 'forbidden' combination of printing materials and techniques that might be useful in chipping! PETG, a strong and durable printing material has a very strong bond with hot, clean glass. So much so, printing nerds know to coat the glass with glue-stick or hair-spray to moderate PETG's bond with the glass. If not, the PETG will chip the glass as it cools, just like hide-glue! The 'upside' is that this effect works only on mirror-smooth glass! No need for sand-blasting or etching to get the bond needed. Caveats: it can't do 'thin-line' work...areas smaller than a US quarter may not peel at all, and often time the peel won't get into sharp corners. A detailed print on glass won't chip exactly by the pattern...several 'passes' may be needed. I did one experiment where I arranged PETG filament scraps on a glass sheet, roasted (240 C/ 450 F) it in an oven to fully melt the plastic. As it cooled, the glass chipped precisely under the plastic and nowhere else! Experiment I need to do next: Print pattern on glass, roast in oven to fully fuse the PETG to the glass, see if detailed pattern chips glass on cooling... More work needed, but a quick web-search on 'PETG damages glass bed' can fill you in on the gory details. Good luck!
Hi Greg, that sounds awesome thanks for sharing! I had no idea about PETG and I reckon it'd be popular info on the Facebook group. Lots of the folks on there have 3D printers and various other high tech machines so all info is great!! Keep me updated on how your next experiment goes :D
Hey thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I tried two different kinds of granular hide glue staying away from the Pearl glue because I heard it with had less Bond. I'll try the pearl if that is what you recommend. After whatever glue I use, does the glue need heat or a colder atmosphere to dry. Would you recommend me leaving it under my bake lamp to dry. Thanks in advance for your assistant. I am amazed at your work
Thanks Dave! Heat will definitely speed up the process so maybe put it under the lamp and see if it chips. Liberon Pearl glue is the stuff to use. It’s awesome 😎
@@happygilder Thank you. By chance I met with a supplier of animal glues today and he explained that bone and hide glues are slightly different. Pearl refers to the form in which either is supplied. From what I understood from him you can get various grind sizes which are made by grinding the pearls which come directly from the manufacturing process before grinding. He explained that users were wanting something that will require less time to absorb water before it can be heated for use and so they started grinding it up. I have 2 different grinds to try from him and am looking forward to experimenting a little. I hope this may have helped you too. You have inspired me to try a completely new artform and am so grateful for your input via your channel.
Is there a minimum glue thickness that will chip? The reason I ask is that I’m curious as to whether it would make a good primer for glass and possibly ceramics. This would allow painting of difficult to paint surfaces without super expensive primers.
Hello my friend Your trainings are great We poured the glue and it dried, what should be the appropriate temperature and humidity level for it to break, what kind of cabin can I make?
Thank you! I'm not sure about humidity levels. I live in the UK where it isn't a problem so I've never built a chipping box. If you ask the question on the Facebook group I'm sure someone will be able to help. There are people on there from all over the world
Hi! I'm from Hungary, i love your videos, they are amazing. I need some help because i have already tried glass chipping but somehow it didn't work, the glass didn't chipped. I took care of quantities, temperature, humidity. What is the problem? Thanks in advance for your assistant.
Hi, it seems as though you've covered all of the areas I would have suggested. The only other thing I can think of is the type of glue you're using. I always use Liberon Pearl Glue. I've used others in the past and they can take weeks to chip
Enjoyed Your videoś - Thanks, but wonder if you have tried the glue chip technique on curved surfaces like, say a bottle ? How would one go about that, and what would be the concerns to make this work. I imagine that scores in the glue would be necessary, since contraction around a 3D shape wouldn’t cause chipping ?
You can definitely chip on a curved surface. The main thing to get right is the thickness of the glue. It sets relatively quickly so you'd have to keep revolving it to keep the coating even
@@happygilder Thanks ! I have made some tests, using a brush to apply the glue, so far with some varied results. It looks like, however, that it should be possible once variables like thickness, temperature , water/glue ratio and skills in applying are perfected.
Hello sir , well i m really intrested of what you are doing And i tried to buy the same glue liberon but i found it out of stock right now what brand would you propose to me? Is there any other good brands to use? Waiting for your answer thank you so much good luck
I haven't had much success with the other types of glue I've used. I'd recommend asking on the facebook group. There are lots of people from all over the world having success with glue chipping, so I'm sure someone on there can give you the name of a supplier in your area
Very helpful vids.. was wondering what would happen if you left the vinyl on the glass while chipping away? Just curious. Keep the vids coming.. thanks again 🤙✌
@@darkscreensleepers3002 I don’t weed off the vinyl, but I do cut around it and remove the glue from the vinyl. If I didn’t do that it would likely chip the areas that I didn’t want chipped. I hope I’ve understood that correctly :D
@@happygilder yes, that's exactly what I wanted to know. I just see other ppl on UA-cam removing after cutting the glue once tacky. Thanks again. Just waiting on vinyl to test out my expert 24. What thickness of class should I be using? Or it doesn't matter? Thanks again.
Here’s a video that covers the glue prep. There are chapters so you can just right to the bit you need :) How to make a glue chipped glass sign. Full workshop ua-cam.com/video/L4KtLHZfsbM/v-deo.html
You certainly can, although I’ve never done it myself. It’s cheap in the UK so I always make a fresh batch, but if I was paying more for the glue, I’d certainly be more frugal 😎
I was inspired by your videos to try this. Chipping technique tried it twice now and it doesn't want to pull the glass off it just dries in place I sand blasted the glass and heated the glue to just before boiling, applied the glue and put it out of the way from my furry friends. 12 hours later nothing just dried glue. What am I doing wrong
Hi Dave, sorry to hear it’s not working out. The first thing I’d suggest is the brand and type of glue. Liberon Pearl glue dries and chips really quickly if it’s near a heat source. Rabbit skin glue or chipping glue can take weeks to chip. Another issue could be the glass you’re using. It won’t work on tempered/toughened glass as the glass is stronger than the glue. 12 hours is fine if it hasn’t started yet. Give it a couple of days and if nothing has happened, soak the glass in hot water and the glue will scrub off easily. I hope that helps
Awesome stuff! Wondering if you’ve ever done abalone with mica powder to make it more shiny/brilliant? I’ve seen that talked about but have never seen it done before, very curious
Thanks! The drying took place indoors and I put the glass on top of a hostess trolley so that the residual heat speeded up the process. If you plan on using a heat source you need to make sure the glue has gone hard, otherwise the scored lines will seal back together
I love your videos, and I'm looking forward to try out all these Things. For the glass chipping, I was hoping to find a non-animal glue ( I try to avoid animal products if at all possible). My Google-fu failed me, and I couldn't find anything. Do you know of a decent, non-animal glue I could use for this? Thanks again for your inspiration!
I'm the same, I don't eat meat or dairy products so it bothers me using gelatine & hide glue. There's a glue called 'Dr Jekyll's Hide Glue' which is vegan but I can't find a link to buy it anywhere. I've never used it so I don't know if it works for glue chipping. I know of people testing solutions for vegan hide mix but they' haven't had any success
Hi Paul. How do you manufacture a glue chipped door panel which has to be a toughened/safety glass? Would you glue chip float glass first then toughen it, with the possibility of it exploding in the oven due to the uneven thickness of the glass and its infinite number of sharp edges? Or, does it survive the toughening process? I guess glue chipping a panel AFTER it has been toughened would probably cause it to explode.
@@21900cdn I don’t really know anything about the toughening process but it would need to be done after the chipping. I’ll ask the glass company I use next time I place an order of mirrors :)
Paul...magic my friend...did a big search for the same brand glue you used...is the mix "Well 1 part glue to 2 parts water is the new mix for me then!" what you recommend? I was floating a reverse image I painted on "Gum" paper for a wedding gift. Sadly the days of sign writer's supplies are almost gone here in OZ. In the 70's when I move here from Detroit you could get almost anything (except one shot). Be safe..
Cheers Ken! Yeah I’m definitely going with the 1 - 2 mix from now on. Most animal skin glue works, it’s just that the Liberon is the one I’ve had the best results with :)

I've never used titebond so I'm not sure if it will work for chipping. I don't know the temperature of the hostess trolley but it's more warm than hot. There isn't a set amount of time that it takes to chip. Small pieces usually take around 6-8 hours. Large pieces can take a few days
@@happygilder thank you very much for your answer and congratulations for your work. I started to Glass paint and gild because of your videos ! Greetings from Switzerland
@@happygilder now that i've seen your video, it makes perfect why ppl use a knife around lettering, i guess it's also to score the glass. up til now the only person i'd seen score glass for glue chipping was as an alternative to having a sandblaster, and while it worked, it looked like hell. that's why i was curious if you could see the score marks through the chipped areas, but in your case i didn't. damn, i'm glad you make these tutorials! there's only so much you can glean from watching others who don't take time to explain anything.
@@manlymcstud8588 glad you’re finding them helpful! The knife doesn’t score the glass as I only use it lightly, but the cuts in the glue really help to control the direction that it chips.
@@happygilder ah, i see. when i ever get to be able to do all this fun stuff, i'm sure i'll figure it out real quick. that's the funny thing, when something is costing you money to tend to pretty smart about stuff....
Hi, I don’t know what strength it is but I don’t think Liberon do different variants, so if you can buy their Pearl glue, it will be good for glass chipping
