•Clean glass, glazed ceramic or china surfaces with vinegar and warm water. Allow to dry thoroughly before painting. While painting on these surfaces, take care to keep hands free of oils and lotions.

Helpful Hints:
•Smudges may be removed using a stylus, toothpick or other finely tipped tool.
•For added durability and to obtain dishwasher-safe finish on oven-safe painted pieces, cure paint for 24 hours before oven baking. Place piece in cool oven and then heat to 325°F (170°C) for 30 minutes. Let oven cool down before removing.
•Do not use on surfaces which would require alcohol-base cleansers.
•If ceramic tiles are to be used in bathroom, lightly sand or scuff surface before painting, then follow baking instructions.
•Do not use on trivets, where hot objects will be placed directly on painted surface.
•Do not soak or use harsh cleaners on painted pieces.
•Pieces painted with Ultra Gloss should not be used on everyday glassware, but should be used as you would fine crystal.
•Tempered glass is resistant to paint, so it is advisable to “bake.”
•Although Ultra Gloss is non-toxic, it is not recommended for use where food or utensils will be in direct contact with painted areas.
