However, I've been to Michaels and they no longer carry this brand. They only carry Americana (which I tried and doesn't work very well - brush strokes show) and Martha Stewart (which are over priced - my opinion). It looks like I'm going to be ordering it online and having it shipped to me just so I can finish a project (gift) which absolutely sucks that I can't find it locally.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7097629987133092734.post-84147271200519860972013-09-07T22:25:28.327-07:002013-09-07T22:25:28.327-07:00Good for you, this is awesome.

I decided to use your great idea to paint the mason jars that I will be using. I was wondering, how did you place your jars to bake? Did you place them on something solid or just on top of the tray in the oven?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Claudiacgjovelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791521794660631514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7097629987133092734.post-64017713668356890592013-04-16T09:55:10.703-07:002013-04-16T09:55:10.703-07:00I have some outdoor Mason jar lanterns I would lik...I have some outdoor Mason jar lanterns I would like to paint--does this paint hold up outdoors? <br />Michael's website says one type of the paint is dishwasher safe, so I assume it can spend the summer outside as well?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7097629987133092734.post-74768915500321060742013-01-22T23:44:47.516-08:002013-01-22T23:44:47.516-08:00I bought mine on Amazon.comI bought mine on Amazon.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06068473344676550311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7097629987133092734.post-39327531314789530672013-01-09T06:08:14.102-08:002013-01-09T06:08:14.102-08:00What size mason jars did you use?What size mason jars did you use?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06873171340131695157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7097629987133092734.post-91039518344401607182013-01-09T06:04:56.033-08:002013-01-09T06:04:56.033-08:00What size mason jars did you use?What size mason jars did you use?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06873171340131695157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7097629987133092734.post-62388442431334461772012-12-31T19:57:30.921-08:002012-12-31T19:57:30.921-08:00Did yours turn out streaky?

I have a lot of sauce, salsa, pickle, and jam jars that I would love to paint, but I'm afraid that they will explode in the oven. Or do you only recommend mason jars?

How do you get rid ...I found this on their website:<br />How do you get rid of brushstrokes?<br />The Vitrea 160 paint was developed to give the appearance of true colored glass (on transparent surfaces); therefore the paint tends NOT to hold the brush strokes. To minimize the brush strokes even more, a natural hair <br />brush is best (particularly a squirrel brush). Apply a fairly generous amount of paint to the brush in application. <br />Also add a bit of Vitrea 160 Gloss Medium to the paint (approximately 1 part medium to 2 parts paint). Vitrea <br />160 Thinner (diluant) will assist in lessening the brush strokes. Water may be used to thin the paint up to 10 % <br />(see Question #6).<br />To get rid of brush strokes completely use the Coulee Method. This is a squirt method using the Applicator <br />bottles. First dilute the paint with 1/3-1/2 thinner (diluant) into an Applicator bottle and apply the paint by <br />“squirting it” onto the surface of the glass. This allows the paint to “run” down the side of the glass item (wipe <br />the excess off once paint drips to the bottom).<br /><br />It also says to not use paint thinner, only water.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
