I am a lighting service person and we use DEKA brand transparent LIGHT BLUE
#30
glass stain. I have personally used this to dip antique x-mas lights and
#47 dial bulbs with EXCELLENT results.......most any glass or hobby shop can
get this.
the small size bottle is 2/3 fluid ounce for about $4ea. this will do
aprox 75 #40 lamps ( these were used as Christmas lights in the late
1940's)
clean the lamps with alcohol, dip, stick the wire leads into a piece of
Styrofoam at an angle so the paint drips down but not all over the
leads....one dip will give very good results....if you really want to do it
right bake these in a toaster oven at 200-300 degrees for aprox 15 minutes
after they are dry to the touch. THIS WILL STINK a little,, so make sure
the wife is away, but it wont damage the oven. or contact me by email and I
can do a few for you if your not in a big hurry.

Thanks. I'll try 'Hobby Lobby' this weekend. (when they came in, the
ma'n'pa places went belly up.)
