Pébéo Porcelaine 150 gloss medium or thinner, 45 ml

Adjust the shade or flow of your Porcelaine 150 paint with the right auxiliary. Both versions are water-based, but have different jobs. You receive one 45 ml bottle in your chosen version; paint, brushes and the object to decorate are separate.

Lighter colour or greater flow?

• Gloss medium: creates lighter colours while retaining gloss, without making them more fluid. Mix it with Porcelaine 150 colour; it is not a general finishing varnish.
• Thinner / undercoat: makes Porcelaine 150 colours more fluid. This version also acts as a pore-filling undercoat for porous surfaces; let the undercoat dry before applying colour.

Preparation and a small trial

Stir the product with a mixing stick before use. Work on clean, grease-free porcelain, earthenware or suitable ceramic. Clean the surface with alcohol or soapy water and let it dry. For oven fixing, choose an object that can withstand 150 °C. Do not use Pyrex, Arcopal or equivalent surfaces.

Make a trial with the same colour unchanged and with a small, recorded amount of your chosen medium. After drying, compare shade, gloss and brush flow on a separate suitable sample. Add thinner gradually; do not substitute water, which can reduce washing resistance. The trial helps you choose without assuming one fixed ratio for every project.

Drying and fixing

For a decorative result without baking, air-dry for 72 hours and then wash only gently, without soaking. For dishwasher resistance, first allow at least 24 hours to dry, place the object in a cold domestic oven and heat to 150 °C. Start the 35-minute timing when that temperature is reached. Leave it to cool in the oven before removing it. Also follow your label instructions.

Dishwasher resistance does not make the painted layer suitable for food contact. Decorate only areas that will not touch food. Keep the two drying and use routes distinct: 72 hours of air-drying does not replace baking for dishwasher use.
