Prime the well-cleaned vases with the chalk color. Repeat the procedure in several thin layers until the color fully covers the glass. Allow the color to dry for four days and then bake the vases in a non-preheated oven at 160 degrees for 30 minutes. Let them cool down inside the oven. Now the vases are dishwasher-safe.
