I tried again. I can’t just give up on the paints. I spent money on them after all. Surely there must be a way to get them to work!

You can see my first attempt here.

This time around I painted something different. I mean, why not… its just experimenting after all.

But the results were, once again, disappointing.

This time I not only washed the dishes and dried them with a clean towel, I also wiped over the area I was planning to paint on with pure alcohol. I figured that maybe there was still some grease residue on the plates last time. The alcohol would get rid of that.

Here are the results:

So… scratching with a fingernail when its dry seems to be ok. But put it in water and all bets are off.

To me, this is a total failure of the product to live up to its claims.

I had planned on using these paints on a large fruit bowl a friend wanted me to paint for him. I planned to buy a few more colours too. How can I do that when the bowl will need special care or the painting will come off?

I guess I could call them ‘special needs’ ceramics.

hahaha

Whatever. Moving on to something I know works.

Stay tuned.
