[OMS_MANAGERS] Help!! (window paint)

[Karen Auborn]

Acrylic paint is water proof once dried.  - really great murals - sad about the running.  One solution is to prepare murals elsewhere on plywood, masonite, or canvas and then install.  I suspect that painting on glass? slowed the drying as the glass would not be porous.  I do not know about driers as additives for acrylic paint.
