1. Take the paste from the ballpoint pen, it was used 30 more years ago. The contents of the rod apply to the surface of the glass, pre-mixing the paste with acetone, ethyl alcohol or cologne. Remember, the bulb will turn blue.
2. Nail polish is also suitable. It is better to take a persistent translucent lacquer, as at high temperature the color burns out. You can apply with a normal brush.
3. If you do not plan to heat a light bulb, PVA glue can also be used to paint a light bulb. As a colorant on white glue, the ink from the printer and water-soluble pigments easily fall down.
4. Auto enamel, but it also withstands the temperature only up to 200 degrees.
5. Stained-glass paints – the best, but expensive option. One small tube will cost 200 rubles, besides, only water-soluble paints for firing are suitable.
6. Silicone paints are ideal for painting surfaces that are planned to be used at high temperatures.
