Vitrea 160 are professional quality, transparent, non-toxic, ready to use, excellent lightfastness, water based paints designed specifically for use on glass and crystal. Vitrea 160 can be fixed to the surface by baking the painted surface at 160°C (325°F) in a domestic oven, after which the depth of the colour is enhanced and the paints are dishwasher safe. Vitrea 160 can also be applied to other thermostable surfaces which can withstand a temperature of 160°C (325°F) such as crystal, vases, lamps, and even an entire window surface.The Vitrea 160 range includes 35 Colours in 45 ml bottles - 30 remarkably transparent colours (20 glossy / brilliant colours, 10 frosted colours) and 5 shimmer shades, 10 Relief Outliners in 20 ml tubes and 18 Colours in markers for magnificent decorations on glass. The frosted Colours allow for an etched glass look. There are 4 mediums as well which allow for reproduction of crackled, iridescent and frosted glass effects.Applied on glass and crystal, the transparency of Vitrea 160 colours allows you to take full advantage of the light. The characteristics and properties of the Vitrea 160 colours remain the same across liquid, paste or felt tip markers. Either used alone or together, you are completely free to experiment with the effects and techniques of the paints. The glossy or frosted appearance of the colours provides an infinite variety of light and shadow effects. After baking, colours are exceptionally intense and glass seems to be body-dyed.Before painting with Vitrea 160, simply degrease with alcohol or soapy water. After painting, allow to air dry for 24 hours, then place the decorated object in a cold oven. Once the temperature has reached 160°C (325°F), allow to bake for 40 minutes. After baking, colours are dishwasher safe and resistant to detergents and common solvents. Only the areas not intended to be put in contact with food must be decorated.
