Are Surfpaints dishwasher safe?Updated 5 months ago
Surfpaints acrylic markers can be used on ceramics and become waterproof once dry. To make your designs more durable and dishwasher-safe, you can oven-bake your ceramic piece after painting. Here’s how:
- Let the paint dry completely (at least 24 hours).
- Place your painted ceramic item in a cold oven to avoid cracking from sudden temperature changes.
- Set the oven to 150°C (300°F) and bake for 30 minutes.
- Turn off the oven and let the item cool completely inside before removing it.
This process helps to heat-set the paint, making your design more resistant to washing. For extra durability, you may also apply a dishwasher-safe sealant after baking.
