Tip Set for Glassline Pens

I bought the set of glass line pens and now have two sets of tips. I find these very easy to use although some of the paints can blob and run as some colours seem more watery than others. I've never had a problem of them blocking as I always drop the tips into a small bowl of water as soon as I take them off the bottle. I then clean them out with a small paint brush, dry with paper towel and blow through them to check they are clean and dry. By doing this I've never had to use the pins. I hope this tip helps.

I have had these and the paint set for a few months and after reading the problems about the tips blocking, I may have a solution. When I'm using them I keep a small bowl of water and a small paint brush handy. As soon as I have finished with a tip, I drop it straight into the water and then clean it out with the brush. It doesn't then matter if you don't clean them straight away as the water soaks the paint and it's easy to rinse out. This has worked every time and I've never had a problem with them blocking and have never had to use the pins. I hope this helps.

I have bought several sets of these. Being able to buy the nib sizes individually would be perfect. Unfortunately the fine nibs never work for long, as they block so quickly and then seem to be impossible to clean out. Extra pins, particularly for the fine nibs would also be very helpful as they've snapped when I've tried to use them to clear the nibs. Overall though I love this product.

I love working with these paints, especially with the fine nib. The paints can vary in viscosity which makes fine lines with runny paints difficult, thick paints can easily be watered down. The only problem I have encountered is that one of the fine nibs has become blacked with a very small piece of metal from the metallised paints and no amount of poking will dislodge it.

Extremely frustrating to use as they frequently block up and are very difficult to clean. The bottles of Glassline are not ergonomically friendly and it is difficult to keep a consistent pressure when drawing.

Very disappointing. More pins should be supplied to assist with freeing up the hole in the nib as they are very fine pins and difficult to obtain. In short a good idea, but further design research needed to obtain an effective product that is fit for purpose.



WARM GLASS REPLY - WE ARE SORRY YOU ARE NOT HAPPY WITH THE PRODUCT. IF YOU WANT TO GET INTO CONTACT WITH OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE TEAM, THEY WILL SORT OUT A REFUND OR EXCHANGE.

I have bought several of these sets but have never been able to get the fine nib to work at all. However, I get along fine with the other two nibs, and I am happy to buy at this realistic price.

Use these tips a lot ................. but I agree, it would be better if you could buy the tips by size, as I use the finer tips much more. It would also be handy to supply extra beaded top pins, especially for the fine tip as I can seem to buy that size of pin anywhere else. Thanks

I love glass line pens and the metal nib sets. I trained as a traditional stained glass painter and though these enamels give a different effect to traditional painting, I find them quick and easy to use and give you the freedom to produce free style art work. Old guitar strings are the best thing for unblocking the bottles and the nibs!

I'm happy to buy more of these. I bought some of the new ready to use tips but they leak and my students don't like them so moving back to the old ones. Like the other correspondents I don't find the fine easy to keep unblocked.

Love the versatility of this product, hate the unblocking but have learnt to put dressmaking pins (the ones with a bead on top) in after use to reduce the problem. Endorse other comments would like to be able to buy tips by size.

Why do the labels wear out before all the Glassline is used up? I have had to remark mine with waterproof pen so I know which ones I am using

I have lost and/or broken the fine pin for the fine nib. The nibs are blocked and I cannot find pins to unblock them. Please tell me where I can get a supply of these fine pins as all my fine nibs are now useless. Apart from this niggle I love using this product.



Warm Glass UK - we find that that a staple from a stapler works great (mini staples for the finest nib) also pins and fine needles work.

I too wish you would sell the bold nibs in quantity, they are by far the easiest to use and give the best flow. The very fine nibseems to be constantly blocked even if the contents are heavily watered down. These are essential though if you wish to have fine lines in your work.

I find the bold tip ideal for drawing though my hand starts to shake after a while. I am concentrating on the drawing and squeezing the bottle at the same time. Two opposing actions play havoc with my muscles. I recently finished two large panels with spring flowers which I could not have done without Glassline. I wish you sold the bold nib in quantities, so that I can have a nib for each colour I am using.

I'm really happy with these. I use them with the black glass line pen and write poetry onto pieces it works really well. It's like decorating a cake!
