  • Remember when baking your object, DO NOT pre-heat the oven. The difference in temperature may cause your porcelain or glass to crack. Instead, put your object in a cold oven, then turn the oven on.
  • Step 7Once dry, place your porcelain or glass object in a cold household oven. Once the temperature has reached 160°C, bake your porcelain or glass object for 90 minutes to heat set your design.
