Pebeo Porcelaine 150 China Paint Cloisonne 20-Milliliter, Ming Blue User Review

I was a little skeptical about buying this after reading many reviews stating that these type of paints tend to chip or crack. And they are right- if you don't make the proper preparations the paint will not stick at all and flake off everywhere. After a couple of failed attempts and some research, I think I've got the process down and I'm really enjoying the results. There are three key things I discovered along the way to making these paints work.First: Wipe down whatever you are going to paint thoroughly with rubbing alcohol. After you touch an area you intend to paint, do it again. If there is anything at all under the paint it will come off.Second: Let it dry for at least a day (or preferably longer). The paint will seem completely dry after an hour or so, and it may be tempting to throw it into the oven early. Don't. The paint really does need at least 24 hours to cure properly, or else it gets brittle after it is cooked.Third: After you cook your pieces for the directed time, turn off the oven but leave them in. Crack the oven open to allow heat to escape slowly, but do not take your pieces out. This allows them to cool slowly. If they cool too fast, the paint seizes a bit and pulls away from the surface. I left mine in the open oven until they were cool enough for me to touch with bare hands.This may sound like a lot to keep in mind, but the results are completely worth the effort!
