At least two. After the second coat dries, hold the block up to the light. If necessary, apply a final coat.

Steps for painting on glass:
- After you have etched or frosted the glass transfer your design to the glass.
- You will need to undercoat the area with black gesso first.
- Apply the first undercoat of black gesso to the glass block and let it dry.
- Put a light inside and see if you can see your brush strokes, or light shines through.
- If this happens, you will need a second coat of undercoat.
- Once you no longer see your brush strokes or light shining through you can start painting your design.

Painting glass blocks.
- If you sand the surface you can use any paint.
- If you do not sand use glass paint.
- Two to three coats should do.
- Be sure to let dry in between coats.
