KREUL Glass & Porcelain thinning medium 20 ml

A delicate wash on glass or porcelain needs a different approach from a solid patch of colour. This colourless, water-based thinning medium makes KREUL Glass & Porcelain Chalky, Classic and Clear more fluid and lighter in colour. It is designed for watercolour-like effects with these paint ranges. You receive one 20 ml jar; paints, brushes and mixing tools are needed separately.

Adjust colour and flow together

Use the medium when you want a softer colour or a more flowing brushstroke. Thinning also changes the colour intensity, so do not expect the same full colour as undiluted paint. For decoration on clear glass, a sample beside an undiluted patch helps you judge both the colour and the light passing through it.

Make a controlled mixing trial

1. Stir a small, separate portion of Chalky, Classic or Clear thoroughly.
2. Add the medium gradually and mix carefully until you reach the flow you want.
3. Test on the same material as your piece. Let it dry, compare it with undiluted paint and note your proportions before mixing more.

For these paint ranges, use the matching medium rather than water alone to retain adhesion after fixing. Choose the amount from your trial and the effect you want.

Prepare and finish your decoration

Work on a clean, grease-free surface. Wash the object with washing-up liquid; dishwasher rinse aid can make the paint bead. Follow the drying and fixing instructions for your chosen paint. Use an oven only for heat-resistant objects and let them cool inside it. Clean painting tools with water after use.

Safe use

Leave drinking rims, the inside of tableware and surfaces that touch food or are used for cutting unpainted with this decorative paint. Contains the preservatives BIT and C(M)IT/MIT (3:1). May produce an allergic reaction. Avoid skin and eye contact, wash your hands after use and wear safety goggles when transferring the medium. Close the jar firmly and protect it from frost, heat and direct sunlight. Dispose of residues according to local rules.
