Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought these because I was looking for alcohol inks to try some mug art with. These worked amazingly!! I love that they are so versatile depending on how diluted you make the paints. The colors are vibrant, and they held up well after baking. However, some notes that people should be aware of before doing mug art with them: - If you bake your mug at 400 degrees, the yellow will turn into a very faded brown-ish color. The green will turn dark blue. Try baking them at 350 for 30 minutes. I did not notice any color distortions at that temperature. - The gold does not dilute like the other colors. if you want to have a controlled, washed out sparkle, dilute it before you put it on the cup so that it dilutes evenly. Otherwise the metallic pigments tend to clump together. - The reds have a tendency to run more than other colors. I initially tried to put a dishwasher-safe sealer on the mugs before baking- it was a disaster. It was completely dry, yet it smudged everywhere. You NEED to bake them first even if you plan on sealing them.
