The plastic martini glasses ended up melting a bit, though they were still usable. The wine glasses looked excellent, and were easy to clean off (just soak them in hot water).

I learned this the hard way! Also, be sure to turn the heat off or way down after adding the color, or the color will start changing. In my case it went from red to brownish orange in a matter of a few minutes. Be sure to wear rubber gloves to protect yourself from burns. I learned this the hard way!

I wasn't timing it, but it wasn't super quick...I'd say it took us a good 15 mins to get to that temp! Meems - My friend did this on wine glasses last year and it turned out great! :) Hi Chris –

Hope that helps! Hi Clare –
