    didn't read your post about no luck in finding an asain market. Call a local Japanese resturant and find out who they buy from.

    To H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks with Nori!!!

    nori is an asian food specialty item (used to wrap and make some types of sushi). Every asain market I have ever gone into sells it. You can get 100 sheets 9" squares for about $10. A lot of regular supermarkets do not stock it Good Luck

    There are a few things you should also do before painting. Chalk the top and bottom along the frame seam otherwise paint will seep between the frame and glass. Clean the glass with denatured alcohol. Any oils from your skin that are on the glass when you paint will leave, excuse the pun, fish...
