Painting on Glass
Making sure painting on glass does not require priming first. I am using metallic paint from Germany (VIVA - Creative Imagination). I know to clean the surface with alcohol but was wondering if priming would enhance adhesion. I use a liquid etching product to simulate glass etching ... maybe I should apply that first. I am concerned about product compatibility. I will be painting drinking glasses.

Make sure the paint is 'food safe' first of all, and then once etched, it should leave a rough enough surface for the paint to adhere quite well. Practice on a fruit jar or old glass first, let it dry good and try washing it several times to see how the paint holds up. Trial and error are our best friends..lol

Thank you Therese. I have done this in the past but new products have come out and yes, I have all intentions to practice first! I'll have to call the manufacture regarding the "food safe" issue as they don't always divulge everything on their label!
