The paints are non-toxic, intermixable, and dry to a transparent, high-gloss finish; once cured in a home oven they gain enhanced resistance to washing, UV exposure, and microwaving. This set includes Veil White, Yellow, Indian Red, Light Pink, Light Blue, and Cyan — ideal for jewel tones, pastels, or blended gradients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these paints achieve a stained-glass effect on household items?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitrea 160 uses a transparent, water-based resin that settles into a glossy, coloured film similar to stained glass when dry.
