Hi, I would like to paint a glass vase I have. I tried some glass paint but it was too watery/runny/weak. I need some that is thick, vibrant, doesn't run, can't wash off.

Any ideas much appreciated :D
Kindness costs nothing :)

    I found Marabu glass paint to be a fair price and worked beautifully, permanent after it dries.

    I use the Marabu relief paste for outlining, then I add the colour paint in the gaps after, once the relief paste has dried, that way it stops it running and going outside of the lines.

    Both paints and paste comes in a variety of colours and available online and in-store.

    Check the products personal instructions but this is useful information for most of the paints:
    The paint is dishwasher-safe at a maximum 50°C after 3 days.
    If you want to do it as quickly as possible, the drying time of 3 days
    can be reduced to 30 minutes at 100°C in the oven.
    Thank you to everyone who posts competitions and good luck to everyone who enters.
  • I bought some porcelian pens from Yellow moon and they worked really well for me on glass. They have bright colours and some are glittery.
  • Sorry that should have said 'Porcelain'.
