Original Stained Glass

13 years ago

Wondering if you can help. We have original stained glass windows in our 1920's colonial. The PO painted around them and got quite a bit of paint on the windows. I am not sure how best to remove the paint without damaging the windows. Many thanks.

How awful. Have you tried a razor blade? That's how I used to get paint off the glass when I painted and accidentally touch the glass. If it's textured glass, a razor blade won't do it, though. I'd use some smaller thingy to scrape it off.

Forgot to add that you could carefully use a liquid stripper that takes paint off furniture.
