FAQs
Are the Pebeo Porcelaine 150 markers food safe?
No, these markers are not considered food safe. They should not be used on surfaces that come into direct contact with food or beverages.
How long does the ink take to dry before baking?
The ink should be allowed to air dry for a minimum of 24 hours before heat setting.
What is the correct temperature and time for heat setting?
Bake in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for 35 minutes.
Can I use these markers on plastic or metal?
These markers are specifically designed for porcelain, ceramic, glass, and earthenware. Performance on other surfaces may vary and is not guaranteed.
What happens if I don't heat set the markers?
If not heat-set, the designs will not be permanent or dishwasher safe. They will be prone to smudging and washing off.
How should I store the markers?
Store the markers horizontally with the caps tightly sealed to prevent them from drying out.
Can I correct a mistake after applying the ink?
Minor mistakes can be wiped away with a damp cloth before the ink has fully dried. For dried ink, it may require gentle scraping or sanding, which could affect the surface finish.
Troubleshooting
Marker not working or ink flow is poor
Ensure the marker is shaken well. Prime the tip by pressing it on scrap paper until ink flows. Check if the cap was left off for an extended period.
Ink smudging before heat setting
Allow adequate air-drying time (at least 24 hours) before touching or moving the decorated item. Handle with care.
Design washes off after heat setting
Ensure the item was properly heat-set according to instructions (correct temperature and time). Verify that the item is made of compatible material (porcelain, ceramic, glass, earthenware) and not porous or treated.
Uneven color application
Shake the marker more thoroughly. Apply in light, even strokes. Ensure the tip is primed and clean.
