One side is textured, the other's smooth. I didn't think it'd make much difference since the major hassle was getting the layers of paint off. Why? Is there an easy answer for textured glass? (Cos I'm still picking away and boy is it painstaking!) Not sure why nitromors wasn't more effective...

Success! I think the main problem has been how many layers of paint have been plastered over the glass (I reckon at least three). But I'm now down to pure glass and scraping off the tricky bits between the textured bumps. Incidentally I found polycell stripper better than nitromors but that...
