FAQs

Can I use these markers on plastic or metal?

These markers are specifically formulated for non-porous surfaces like glass, crystal, and porcelain. They are not guaranteed to adhere or be durable on plastic or metal.

How long does the paint take to dry before baking?

The paint becomes tack-free in a few minutes, but you need to wait a minimum of 24 hours for it to dry completely before proceeding to the heat-setting (baking) stage.

What is the best way to clean up mistakes?

While the paint is still wet, you can clean work surfaces and correct mistakes using soapy water. Once the paint has dried, it becomes more difficult to remove without damaging the surface.

Do I need a special oven for baking?

No, a standard home oven (conventional oven) is sufficient for heat-setting the Vitrea 160 paint. Ensure your oven can maintain the specified temperature accurately.

Are the colors opaque or transparent?

The PEBEO Vitrea 160 Glossy markers produce transparent colors with a glossy finish. This allows light to pass through, highlighting the color and the surface beneath.

How many pieces are in this set?

This is a pack of 9 markers, containing assorted glossy colors.

Can I layer the colors?

Yes, you can layer colors. Allow the first layer to dry until tack-free before applying subsequent layers for best results and to avoid smudging.

Troubleshooting

Marker is not dispensing paint.

Shake the marker vigorously for at least 20 seconds. Prime the tip by pressing it down on a scrap surface until ink flows. If still not working, the tip might be clogged; try gently cleaning it with a damp cloth.

Paint is smudging during application.

Ensure the marker tip is clean and not overloaded with paint. Apply lighter pressure. If the surface is not clean and dry, it can affect adhesion and cause smudging. Let layers dry slightly before applying the next if working on complex areas.

Decoration is not dishwasher-safe after baking.

Verify that the paint was allowed to dry for a full 24 hours before baking. Ensure the oven temperature was correct (160°C/320°F) and the item was baked for the full 30 minutes. Make sure the item cooled down inside the oven. Re-bake if necessary, following all steps precisely.

Uneven paint application.

Shake the marker thoroughly and prime the tip properly. Use consistent, light pressure. Avoid pressing too hard, which can cause paint to pool. For larger areas, consider using broader strokes or multiple layers applied carefully.

Pros and Cons

  • Designs are permanent and dishwasher-safe after heat-setting.

  • Versatile set with assorted colors for diverse creative projects.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the surface to be decorated is clean and dry. Shake the markers well before use. Prime the tip by pressing it down on a scrap surface until the paint flows evenly.

Compatibility: These markers are designed for use on non-porous surfaces such as glass, crystal, and porcelain. They are not recommended for porous surfaces.

Care: After application, allow the paint to dry until tack-free (a few minutes). Wait a minimum of 24 hours for the paint to dry completely before heat-setting. To heat-set, place the decorated item in a conventional oven and bake at 160°C (320°F) for 30 minutes. Let the item cool down in the oven. Once baked, the decoration is resistant to dishwashing and normal detergents.
