Pébéo Vitrail mediums, lightening, glitter or matt

Change the colour strength or finish of Pébéo Vitrail with the appropriate medium. These auxiliaries belong to the solvent-based Vitrail paint range for decorative projects. You receive one bottle in your chosen version; paint and brushes are separate.

Which effect do you want?

• Lightening, 45 or 250 ml: creates lighter Vitrail shades without making the mixture more fluid. Choose it for a lighter tone, rather than as a thinner to increase flow.
• Glitter, 45 ml: mix with Vitrail colours for a sparkling effect.
• Matt, 45 ml: mix with the colour for a matt, frosted appearance. The effect is in the paint film; this is not an etching paste.

Mixing and comparing

For a trial, take three small portions of the same Vitrail colour: one without an additive and two with increasing amounts of the chosen medium. Record how much you add. Apply comparable layers to a separate piece of your actual surface and let them air-dry completely before comparing shade, sparkle or matting. This is a practical trial layout, not a fixed mixing ratio.

Work with a brush on carefully degreased glass or a suitable transparent surface such as acetate, polyester or Plexiglas. Try plastics on a separate sample first. For a stained-glass motif, outline the areas with an appropriate Cerne Relief outliner before applying the Vitrail colour.

Surface and care

Use for decorative objects and keep painted areas away from food contact. Once fully dry, clean gently by hand without soaking. Air-dry the paint; do not use an oven or heat source. Drying varies with layer thickness, temperature and humidity.

Working safely

Warning: flammable liquid and vapour. May cause drowsiness or dizziness. Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking. Work outdoors or in good ventilation, keep away from heat, sparks and open flames, and do not smoke. Avoid skin and eye contact. Store cool, closed and locked up, out of reach of children. Dispose of remnants and packaging according to local rules.

Glitter medium may be harmful or fatal if swallowed. Do not swallow. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting and seek immediate medical or poison-centre advice; keep the container or label at hand. Always follow the label on your bottle.
