Pentart Universal Contour Liner, 20 ml

Give motifs a raised edge or add dots and dimensional lines with Pentart Universal Contour Liner. This thick, water-based paint comes in one 20 ml tube with a dispensing nozzle, in your chosen colour. Apply directly from the nozzle for outlines, decorative lines and small 3D details.

Choose a colour and prepare your surface

Choose bronze, copper, white, antique copper, transparent, gold, silver or black. Bronze, copper, antique copper, gold and silver are metallic shades; transparent lets the underlying surface show. Each choice is one tube, not a set. Surfaces and other tools are not included.

The paint is intended for outlines on various surfaces, including glass, porcelain and suitable fabric. Start with a clean, dry, grease-free surface. Check adhesion and colour contrast on a small test piece. Any planned heat treatment must also suit the object or fabric.

Practise lines and dots

First draw three short lines with different pressure and drawing speeds. Add a row of dots and a closed loop beside them. Let the sample dry and compare width, height and joins in angled light. Record the pressure and speed you prefer. Choose your line for a border, lettering or motif before decorating the whole object.

Fixing on fabric, glass or porcelain

On fabric: use suitable material with no more than 20% synthetic fibres that can withstand an iron’s cotton setting. Let the decoration dry, then fix from the reverse through baking parchment for at least 30 seconds at the cotton setting. Afterwards, follow the fabric’s care instructions, using a gentle wash cycle with the item inside out.

On glass or porcelain: allow 24 hours to dry, then fix in an oven at 100 °C for 30 minutes. Use only an object that can withstand this treatment. After correct fixing, the decoration can be washed on a dishwasher eco programme if the object itself is dishwasher suitable. Keep decoration away from food-contact areas and drinking rims.

Cleaning and careful use

Wipe excess paint from the nozzle and close the tube securely after use. Clean tools with water while the paint is still wet and collect paint residues for disposal under local rules. Do not pour residues down the sink.

Follow the label and protect your work area. Avoid eye contact and unnecessary skin contact, wash hands after use and keep paint out of reach of young children. Decoration does not make an unsuitable object ovenproof, iron-safe or dishwasher suitable.
