marika Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 I've found it easier to coat with candle medium first, then after it's dry, the paint adheres well. The blue was done with glass paint and acrylicsMari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marika Posted September 23, 2006 Author Share Posted September 23, 2006 Good idea...Do you wipe them down with alcohol first to get rid of the oil?Mari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
