Yield: 1 ceramic

Equipment

  • 1 set of brush
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1 paper towel
  • 1 whiteboard marker

Materials

  • 1 unit ceramic
  • 1 set ceramic enamel

Instructions

  • Ensure your ceramic is grease-free before painting.
  • You can start by painting free hand with our enamel or sketch with whiteboard marker first.
  • If you would like to sketch with whiteboard marker first, ensure that you do not paint enamel over whiteboard marker. Whiteboard marker can be erased after enamel setting procedure.

Enameling tips & trick

  • If you are using bottled enamel, shake well before use.
  • Paint 1-2 light coats of enamel only. Using too much paint will result in rough surface after enamel setting procedure.
  • If you make a mistake, wipe off the paint before it dries off.
  • If enamel is too thick, dilute with a VERY tiny amount of water (less than a drop)
  • Wash your brush between each change of color. Dry the brush well on the paper towel before moving on to your next color.
  • Do not let enamel dry out on the paint brush as it will not come off when its dry.

Important note

  • Only surfaces which do not come in contact with food should be decorated. However, migration tests carried out by an accredited laboratory have shown that accidental contact of decorated areas with food does not represent a danger to health.
  • Final product is dishwasher safe.
