I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, I’ve tried 5 times and every single time, the mugs come out of the oven, the paint pen is still able to be scratched off. I’ve tried using different colours, doing 1 layer instead of going over the lettering twice, and nothing has worked to help keep the paint on the mug! And yes, I’m using the sharpie oil based paint pens. Help!!! Please 🙂

In reply to Crystal. It might just be your mug? I'd probably lower the baking temperature by 25 degrees.

An issue I have after baking the mugs is sometimes they get some light brown spots for some reason. They usually do wipe off but I’m wondering if there is anything I can do to avoid this happening?

In reply to Megan. I think it would depend on the mug, I haven't really done much with microwaving them though.

In reply to Judy Huck. I have not used those, but oil paints tend to be really great. I think heat setting the paint, any paint is really key to the success of the project, so I'd recommend that step!
