Glass, Tile & Ceramic: Use & Care

Painting with Liquitex Glossies

  • Hand wash in warm water with mild dishwashing detergent.
  • Baked Glossies will soften when soaked in hot water or exposed to heat, and return to proper hardness upon cooling. Allow heat set Glossies to cool prior to rubbing, cleaning or wetting surface.
  • Do not place extremely hot items on painted surface.
  • Not recommended for shower stall tile installation. Repeated exposure to hot water will adversely affect adhesion.
  • Not recommended for "heavy use" applications, such as kitchen countertops, floors, etc.
  • Do not clean Glossies (heat set or air-dried) with scouring cleaners, as they will abrade surface.
  • Care should be taken if using grout between heat set Glossies tiles. Grout is abrasive and can scratch surface. A non-abrasive acrylic tile grout is recommended.
  • Do not use on flexible surfaces.
  • Do not use in food contact surface applications.
  • May be used on outside of mugs, bowls, etc. Do not paint within the top 3/4" (20mm) of drinking vessel.
  • May be painted on underside of clear glass dishes.
