Liquitex Glossies Acrylic Enamel Colors
Professional Quality
All colors 2 oz.: $3.41 each

---

Liquitex® GlossiesTM are water based acrylic enamels that are specially formulated to adhere to slick, non-porous materials such as: glass, tiles, glazed ceramics, stoneware, china, enamelware, primed metal, wood and other non-oily surfaces.

Characteristics
Air-dried colors dry to a durable, high gloss finish. Heat-set colors dry to a scratch resistant, high gloss finish. All colors are lightfast. Suitable for indoor and outdoor applications (when heat set). All Glossies colors are intermixable and can be easily blended to achieve any color. Non-Toxic and contain no solvents. Clean up with soap and water.

Use and Care
Heat-set Glossies will soften when soaked in hot water or exposed to heat and return to proper hardness upon cooling. Allow to cool prior to rubbing, cleaning or wetting surface. Hand wash in warm water with mild dishwashing detergent. Do not place extremely hot pans, etc. on baked Glossies . Not recommended for shower stall tile installation. Repeated exposure to hot water will adversely affect adhesion. Not recommended for "heavy use" applications, such as kitchen countertops, floors, etc. Do not clean Glossies (heat set or air-dried) with scouring cleaners, as they will abrade surface. Care should be taken if using grout inbetween heat set Glossies tiles. Grout is abrasive and can scratch surface. A non-abrasive acrylic tile grout is recommended. Do not use on flexible surfaces. Do not use in food contact surface applications. May be used on outside of mugs, bowls, etc. Do not paint within the top 3/4" (20mm) of drinking vessel. May be painted on underside of clear glass dishes.

Characteristics of Acrylic Paints
