Troubleshooting
Paint is streaky during application
Ensure you are using a soft-bristle brush or a dense sponge; apply in thin, even coats rather than one thick layer.
Paint peels off after washing
The heat-setting process was likely incomplete or at an incorrect temperature; ensure the oven reaches a steady 160°C for the full 40 minutes.
Glass cracked in the oven
Avoid temperature shock by placing the piece in a cold oven and allowing it to heat up and cool down gradually with the appliance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best results, start by cleaning the glass surface with alcohol or a glass cleaner to remove any oils or dust. Once you have finished your design, you must allow the paint to air-dry for 24 hours. After the drying period, place the piece in a cold oven. Set the temperature to 160°C (325°F) and bake for 40 minutes once the oven reaches the target temperature. Always leave the item in the oven until it cools completely to prevent thermal shock, which can crack the glass. Once cured, your project is dishwasher safe. Store the paint in a cool, dry place and ensure the cap is tightly closed after every use to prevent the water-based medium from drying out.
