_It should resists the heat produced by the LEDs inside the bottle._ This shouldn't be an issue as the LEDs should not produce as much heat compared to incandescents.

@Matt Yes, I thought that the heat would not be a problem, but it's just in case this could hypothetically be an issue. I will edit my question.

@Matt Indeed, my question is a duplicate. So I simply marked it as such (I did not know that OP can close as duplicate themself)

Leave the dupe. Dupes are good! Just another sign post to the right content.

Indeed, this is a good dupe to have since it includes the heat component :)

# What paints can I use on glass?

I like the idea and would like to reproduce something similar.

I think the product can be improved by painting the bottle. So here's my question:

What are paints with following properties:

1. It *sticks on glass*.
2. It is *translucent*.

For what it's worth, note that the LEDs will produce a bit of heat inside the bottle, so this might be taken in consideration. But I guess this will not be an issue.

SIDE-NOTE: I think this can be done by [drilling a whole in the bottle](https://crafts.stackexchange.com/questions/105/what-is-a-good-technique-for-drilling-holes-in-glass-bottles) and then simply fill the bottle with some LEDs guirlande. A workaround to avoid drilling, would be to turn the bottle upside down and make a kind of plinth to hold it. Then one can use the normal whole of the bottle to fill it with LEDs.
