| I apologize if this is redundant with some of the messages below, but I want to be sure before I go out & buy something. I'm wondering what the best paints and/or sealants are to use on glass. Specifically bottles & jars or ordinary ceramic-type plates. I want to be sure whatever I get is waterproof, etc. to withstand normal washing & wear. Would these be the same paints recommended below for painting on mirrors, etc.?
Thanks! |

| I would suggest one of these acrylic enamels. DELTA PERMENAMELS - Air-Dry, can be used on glass, tile, and ceramic, requires no heat setting and is non-toxic, oven, microwave and dishwasher safe. Uses 3 steps - surface conditioner, paint, and a glaze finish. DECOART'S ULTRA GLOSS ACRYLIC ENAMEL - weather resistant, non-toxic, and no baking is necessary for a hard durable finish. Uses one application - no surface conditioner or topcoat. PLAID'S APPLE BARREL INDOOR/OUTDOOR GLOSS ENAMEL - non toxic, weather resistant, suggested it be baked on tile, glass and ceramic for more durability and wear. *Even though all of these paints are non-toxic it is suggested that the paint never be used on a surface that will come in contact with food. So if painting glass plates for use, you might want to paint your design on the bottom side. |
