Pébéo Vitrea 160 frosted glass marker, 1.2 mm

Give a glass vase a fine border, write a name or draw a repeating line pattern with a soft frosted effect. The Pébéo Vitrea 160 marker has a normal 1.2 mm tip and applies transparent glass paint with a frosted finish. Its marker format helps with lines, outlines and lettering; large areas take many individual strokes with this tip.

One marker in your selected colour

You receive one marker in the colour selected above. The eight choices are lemon, pink, mauve, Gitane blue, azure blue, mint, aniseed green and neutral. This is not a set of eight. Neutral also belongs to the transparent frosted range and is not opaque white paint. No glass object is included. Choose glass or crystal that can withstand 160°C in an oven; do not use Pyrex, Arcopal or equivalent supports.

Creating a frosted pattern on glass

1. Degrease the glass with soapy water or alcohol and let it dry thoroughly. Shake the capped marker. Press the tip several times on a test surface to start the colour flow. First try a short line on a comparable piece of glass.
2. On a comparable piece of glass, try a row of dots beside a few fine lines. Look at them against the light and in front of a dark background: the surface and lighting affect how clearly the transparent frosted effect shows. Choose the spacing before repeating your pattern on the object. Let the decoration dry for at least 24 hours.
3. Place the decorated object in a cold domestic oven. Count 40 minutes once the temperature is stable at 160°C. At the end, open the oven door and let the object cool inside to avoid sudden temperature changes.
