<p>I was wondering if there is anyone who has used the inkjet waterslide transfers on glass or bottles as part of a recycling art project?</p>

<p>I will be making some wine bottles as centerpieces for my wedding and I'm wondering if I spray the bottles with acrylic paint first, could I still put the bottle in the oven to set the waterslide decals, over the paint? Or would that be disastrous?</p>

<p>I don't want to get it wrong as I only have a limited supply of free bottles I've been given.</p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-07-18)

I was wondering if there is anyone who has used the inkjet waterslide transfers on glass or bottles as part of a recycling art project?

I will be making some wine bottles as centerpieces for my wedding and I'm wondering if I spray the bottles with acrylic paint first, could I still put the bottle in the oven to set the waterslide decals, over the paint? Or would that be disastrous?

I don't want to get it wrong as I only have a limited supply of free bottles I've been given.
