Dan :

I asked the same question about two months ago on this, and one other forum. The answers I received, both on the boards and through private email, convinced me not to attempt it mostly due to adherence, or bonding, issues. I ended up not using any paint at all on my project.

But had I persisted in my desire for the under-glass stripe, the only thing left to do was make a few sample pieces and test them. In other words, as far as I was ever able to learn, no one has really tried it.

If you decide to try it, please let us know what happens.

Cheers,
Kurt Maurer

As seen in the photo below, my accents were done in ash instead...

Why not veneer instead?
