Can Pebeo stained glass paint be removed on glass after baking?

Can Pebeo stained glass paint be removed on glass after baking? I initially did the design and read on someone's web page to bake it at 350 instead of 325 and parts of my leaves have changed in color to more dark yellow which I don't like. If I could take the yellow out, repaint those sections and set at 325, it would be much better.

Thank you.

Can Pebeo stained glass paint be removed on glass after baking?

No it cannot be removed.

Please always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
The person who recommended baking at a higher temperature may have an oven that runs cool. Just check to make sure your oven is "true" by using a thermometer. If your oven runs hotter or cooler than indicated on the stove display, make adjustments up or down.

If you used Vitrea 160 and baked it accordingly to the baking instructions , and the colors have changed that much, It could be a good thing to verify the temperature of your oven: the right baking temperature for Vitrea 160 is 325 Fahrenheit ( 160 Celcius) degrees, for 40 minutes.

If you used the VItrail solvent based paint product, please be aware the VITRAIL paint products are NEVER to be baked.

In both cases, in order to remove the paint, let your painted item soak in soapy water for at least 24 hours, as this will soften the paint, and then it can be removed by scrubbing, and even gently scraping.

Then you can start your project over.

I got in touch with manufacturer and yes, I finally removed a baked surface. You soak the bottle in soapy water for 24 hours and then use a sharp blade to flake it off. It came off and now I can redo my drawing again! The soap I used was Dawn. I used goo-gone over the surface but honestly, I think I didn't need it.

Thanks Pebeo!

Washing off Pebeo Vitrea 160
by: Anonymous

Hi ! I have a Cone 5 ,kiln fired object& I had some of my glaze come off in the kiln, on the edges. My item is porcelain & my art store was out of white Porcelain150- so, vi got to thinking I'd use the glass paint, cause Porcelain( basically) turns into glass after fired... Uhm I wasn't ever going to bake it, but it went on Matt, & doesn't match the other glaze. It's an insence burner, so I'm interested in using only flame proof paint! I used two coats on one side& 1 on the other& went to buy a gloss heat proof medium for the shine, to match my glazed part. Now I dunno- Wash it off? I don't want a Matt white( although it looks fine! Does baking it , make it shine? It says Glossy on the little jar, but it's not. If washing it or soaking it , will take it off, what's the best way? I spent twenty hours making this sweet thing!!! Thanks!!!
