You have introduced another product Vitrail which wasn’t on the list of products needed to start the project! I do not know what it is?Also, the wooden stick was missing. it’s necessary to have all the equipment at the start.

Asked by: Olia
Vitrail is another type of Pebeo paint, usually used for glass. We have passed the feedback on for review.
