I'm thinking of painting the base of a wine glass so my guests can write their names on the glass with provided chalk. Has anyone tried this on glass?

Did you try the paint on the wine glasses yet? If so, do you just wash the glasses by hand & did the paint start to fade after several washes? Thanks, love your idea.

Because denatured alcohol is a stripping solution I probably wouldn't. Plain alcohol should be sufficient to use in brushing technique. So I'd stick with regular alcohol; you could of course try a little on top of the chalk...but I wouldn't go out and buy denatured alcohol just for the purpose of using for underpainting.

I looked up DIY chalk paint on Pinterest and found out how to mix my own chalk finish paint (not chalk board paint). The one I use has indoor paint, water, and plaster of Paris. No need to strip or sand the piece. I used an off white paint, and want over it with the minwax dark paste to darken it and age it. It looks especially nice in the grooves and corners. I love finishing furniture this way because you can do even a big piece in one day!

yes, but not sure you are aware that once liquid is inside the glass, the chalk on the outside disappears. i returned them once i discovered that..

hi there, yes, signatures might show up well if you use a black marker. Maybe sand the top first slightly to make the signatures stand out more clearly. Having guests sign on the side of the barrel might not look nice though. Signatures on the top might look pretty cool!

For laying the color i'm sure it is fine. For metal or wood, if you want it to last you must use the appropriate primer (Metal) or Bonder (Wood). It will only stick to a surface as well as it can bond to it. (I like my Martini, Shaken not Stirred). Anyway, I have just began to use it with an airbrush. It having such a broad range of colors, allows for simpler blends. Then I will use the stencil with the type of artwork I am using.

In my own personal experience I find it works better if you wait until the paint has cured. I use decoart gloss enamels when I paint on glass.

yes, I paint in acrylics and it works very well. I also found putting glass in the bottom helps.

I was burning a design into the wood and painting it, it's got this thin clear coat to it. I'm sure sharpie would stick but probably rub off over time, I'd sand it and when the weddings over put a clear coat over the signatures that way it's more permanent. Neat idea for a guest book and congratulations

Hi, thank you for your question. While we have several customers who have successfully used our markers on chalk painted surfaces, we do not recommend it. Painted surfaces are typically porous, i.e., the surface has small pores allowing liquid to be absorbed or pass through. This makes it difficult to remove ink from the surface once applied. If you believe the surface on which the chalk paint was been applied is non-porous, please test a small inconspicuous area first to ensure you can remove the ink. Surfaces that are typically porous include wood, plaster, cement, tiles, cork and brick. Our Liquid Chalk erases easily with water on a non-porous surface, i.e metal, glass, slated chalkboards. I hope we have sufficiently answered your question. If you have any further queries, please don't hesitate to contact us, we are here to help. Lilly Morrison - Inspired By Craft

I use them. It is easier to use water the get the liquid chalk off, rather than dry erase. But the board is essentially glass, so anything you could use on a window I would think could be used here.

I have used Annie Sloan Chalk paint and my own version of DIY chalk paint (with plaster of paris) with perfect results. I use a mesh strainer every time I use this machine to make sure there are no particles that can clog the nozzle. I would not use the unsanded grout version in this machine.I have also used Rustoleum chalkboard paint with superior results--perfect finish.

I wouldn't use it on glass. It would peel off too easily. I think the dishwasher would remove the paint.

I used real chalk. I suppose marker would work better bc it would not smudge.

hey Tracey, I bought the oil based sharpies and have been fairly pleased with them. especially on mugs. I also painted on wine glasses and was fairly pleased with results

I have not had any luck getting it to work on a glass surface. There are other users who have said they had no problems. I think it has to do with the opacity of the glass.
