Re: Backglasses Destroyed By Triple Thick???

bubbles, but I think this was the result of poor application (by me).
Either I was spraying from too far away and it was partically drying before
it hit the backglass, or it was too thick and got bubbles in it. It was
only a problem over the clear portions of the glass.
Never heard of it reacting with existing paint/ink in any way.

I once touched up a backglass using Liquitex acrylics in the opaque
areas and Krylon spray paint in the translucent areas. The original
white ink in the score window area (this was an EM) had mostly flaked
off, and respraying it made it look alot better. However, when I then
attempted to Triple Thick the final work, it caused the spray-painted
areas to immediately bubble up and look awful. Fortunately, it wasn't
that big of a deal to take it all off again since it was just the score
windows, but it made me realize that Triple Thick reacts with some
kinds of paint (not the Liquitex acrylics, though).
That was the only time I've ever had a problem with Triple Thick, and
it wasn't related to the original backglass inks. However, if you want
to triple thick a glass that's been previously repaired, you might want
to test an inconspicuous (!) area first to see if there is any reaction
to the repair paint that was used.

Anyone ever heard of this?
I had a guy recently share with me the fact that he was watching a
buddy treat 2 perfectly good backglasses with Triple Thick and right
before their eyes the paint/ink completely cracked and bubbled over the
entire surface on both backglasses.
A bit concerning, but most of your experiences seem to be good with

**Rule #1. If it ain't broke, don't "fix" it.**

At any rate, I only "clearcoat" a backglass that
is already pretty much lost to the world. I've had
success with the regular Krylon Crystal Clear.
As always, test before using!
Sorry to hear of the loss.

frenchy
base for some water-based paint touchups. It actually started to
pucker the ink up in quite a few places. But it ended up leeching into
the puckers (or maybe it just sort of got sucked into them) and from
the front you cound not see the effect. (if you fill in the space
between the glass and lifted ink with clear, it sort of makes it
invisible from the front). Lesson learned - apply some very light
coats first and let dry, then apply heavier coat(s) on top...Frenchy

Triple thick just be sure to put it down a light coat first.
