Yes, Acrylics will adhere to glass. If using the glass outside, be sure to varnish with a uvls varnish to prevent sun damage. I have used acrylic paints on many outdoor craft projects, some of which have been exposed to the weather for several years. None of them have dissolved or ran. Acrylic paints are composed of acrylic polymers and pigment suspended in water. As the water drys after application the polymers fuse together and form a strong permanent water resistant paint. In fact polymer craft paints were first used as high grade exterior water based house paints. Many of the better exterior water based house paints are still acrylic.

How do you remove fabric paint from treated wood?
20 years ago I had used acrylic fabric paint over the floral pattern on a carved wood lamp stand.Yesterday I scraped it off with a knife.Gentle sandpapering removed the remaining stains on the flat surface.But the carving also has intricate veins and tiny cracks where the sandpaper cannot reach.That again needed to be carefully scraped out with the point of a small whittling knife.It is almost but not quite clean.I'll probably have to paint over it again.Water based acrylic can be cleaned out after a bit of soaking in detergent.

What kind of paint do you use to paint a lamp shade?
"guessing cloth paint or craft paint the good stuff NOT WATERCOLOR!" It really depends on what kind of lamp shade you are talking about. Cloth paint will work for true cloth lamp shades. For vinyl and plastic, you need a craft paint for the type of surface you are painting (IE smooth or textured) For a glass they make paint specifically for work with glass that is designed to stick to slick surfaces. You can get both translucent (for staining glass) and opaque. Some of these may work on slick plastic. You should be able to go into any craft store and ask the clerk, most of them do all sorts of crafts as well and know what they are talking about. Be prepared to describe the material and texture of whatever you are painting, or bring the shade in with you for the best results.

Why can't you operate a lava lamp on a glass surface?
Glass melts at between 900 degrees F and 1650 degrees F while the lamp operates at an estimated 100-130 degrees F, however, differential temperature changes, especially rapid changes in temperature may cause a glass surface to crack. The lamp is made of glass, and the bottom of the lamp usually has a felt pad, so there is no mechanical reason why the lamp may not be used on a glass surface except it may slip, and the manufacturer's instructions specifically state DO NOT operate the lamp on glass surfaces.
