The soft stuff was no problem but the harder type was a bit of a challenge. Found that dabbing the old hard glue with acetone it would soften the glue and if I didn't use too much it would not hurt the piece. I found prints of stained glass Windows on ebay from "davesattic", Carol there was very heplful and she can make them any size you want. Then ones I picked turned out not to be colorful enough so I added my own with permanent markers. Church is lit with solar powered LED's, added second led to circuit which dims it slightly but increases burn time by 25%, it shines in the foyer. Lettering was with cameo silhouette. If you want to make your own stained glass Windows Tom Trigg explained how about 3 weeks ago on the forum under " stained glass Windows" ...
