    Use PEBO. It is meant for this purpose. Go to www.cheapjoes.com and get the details.

    This paint gets baked on in your oven and is permanent and dishwasher safe after.

    wood but this too is expensive and it is also very heavy there are some good deals on the internet if you look real hard. It sucks I know My budget is short of what I desire to paint. But I will be having a show in three weeks so that will help a lot. I ussally sell five to six per show and I make after paying the house around 4K so that is not to bad.

    You might be able to find a medium to mix with your acrylic paint for glass.

    While I was going through my paints, I found some medium that was to be mixed for painting on glass or tile.

    It is in a craft paint type bottle.

    You need specific glass paint and not acrylic. Acrylics will not work!

    They are fairly inexpensive and you can find them at Hobby Lobby or Michael's.

    if the glass is smooth give it a rub with some superfine sand paper to rough it up.
