Pébéo Vitrea 160 gloss glass marker 1.2 mm

Draw and write on glass

Add names, fine lines, small drawings and patterns to glass or crystal with this water-based glass marker. The 1.2 mm round tip applies colour directly without a brush. Its glossy colour layer lets light through and works with Vitrea 160 glass paints and relief colours. You receive one marker in your chosen colour, not a set of nine.

Sun yellow and paprika add warm accents; turquoise and emerald suit cooler motifs. Sandalwood is light green, amber is brown and ink black helps outline details. Use the colour numbers to find the same shade again.

Prepare and prime

Degrease glass or crystal with alcohol or soapy water and let dry. Do not use Pyrex, Arcopal or equivalent surfaces. Shake the marker well before use. To start it for the first time, press the tip repeatedly on a spare surface; allow 30 to 60 seconds for paint to flow into the tip. Before baking, correct a small mistake with water or alcohol and a cotton bud.

Try lines and light

On a suitable sample, draw a name, a curved line, a few dots and two short lines. Immediately draw over the second line once more while the paint is still wet. Compare a single line with another beside it in light from the front and behind. Record the colour and number of passes to choose line density and legibility before drawing the final motif.

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

Store the marker flat, protect from frost and close it after use. Decorate suitable surfaces according to the marker instructions. Keep paint away from skin and eyes, wash hands after use and follow local rules for residue and packaging.
