Prepare and try

Degrease glass or crystal with alcohol or soapy water and let dry. Do not use Pyrex, Arcopal or equivalent surfaces. Stir the paint well and apply with a brush. Mix colours on a palette; use Vitrea 160 thinner when you want more flow. Clean tools with water before the paint has been baked.

On suitable spare glass, paint two small areas with a strip of unpainted glass between them. Immediately give the second area an extra pass while the paint is still wet. After drying, compare how colour and light transmission change with light from the front and behind. Record the colour mixture and passes before painting a larger pattern.

Drying and fixing

For dishwasher resistance, dry for at least 24 hours, place the object in a cold domestic oven and heat to 160 °C. Count 40 minutes once that temperature is reached and stable. After baking, open the oven and let the object cool inside to avoid thermal shock. Also follow the label and the object’s care instructions.

Without baking, air-dry for 72 hours for decorative use, then wash only gently without soaking. This route does not replace baking for dishwasher use. Decorate only areas that will not touch food; on drinking glasses, keep decoration about 1 cm below the rim. Dishwasher resistance is not approval for food contact.

Safe use

Wash skin with soap and water after contact; seek medical advice for irritation or a rash. Follow the label and local rules for residue and packaging.
