Pebeo Paints

[Malinda]

I know some of us have used them and like them and some of us haven't had the best of luck with them. I bought a jar of Vitrail (white) paint while living in England and they (at the store) told me you use it the same as the rest of the Pebeo paints. Well I only used it a couple times and I noticed the white sort of changed color while in the oven.

So here we are a year later and I go to use the paint again and figure maybe if I don't "cook" it as long it won't change colors. Wronge, but since I didn't cook it as long it wasn't so bad.

I called Delphi for technical assistance and they didn't have a clue since they don't sell this particular line of Pebeo paints. They did give me the number for Pebeo though. Spoke with a wonderful lady there who was VERY helpful, we're still talking about things via email now, you know one question leads to 10 more questions.

The funny part of my story is the lady told me the reason the paint is turning beige like it's cooking is because IT WAS COOKING! That particular line of Pebeo paint is NOT set in the oven! Only the 150 and 160 lines are for the oven and they both use different temperatures so you can't intermingle them either. So her and I got a big laugh out of my mis-guidance. By the way, no instructions are printed on the jar (or come with it) AND this particular jar isn't made anymore, they changed the size even!!


The bit that made the conversation worth while is she sent me info on thier paints that maybe everyone isn't aware of. I would like to share the info with yall. I will attach the files here and if you're interested, give em' a read.

Two more to attch but I have to figure out how first....

Thanks so much for this information on the Pebeo paints.  I have used them, mostly successfully, but did notice a very slight different in coloring after the lighter colors had been baked.  It's hard to remember to add in the extra time to let the paint sit and dry into your schedule, but it's well worth doing.  Will try and post a pic of the memorial panel I did for someone for Christmas tonight -- used the paints for the names on the panel.

The last two files I cannot attach because of thier size, if you or anyone else is interested in them send me a pm with your email address and I'll forward them to you.

Can't wait to see your picture.
