Can mirrors painted with Folk Art Enamel or Liquitex Glossies be heat set in home oven without cracking?

Why don't you use a hair dryer instead? I think an oven would do something funky to the mirror backing, plus those paint fumes are not something you need to be breathing in, know what I mean?Can mirrors painted with Folk Art Enamel or Liquitex Glossies be heat set in home oven without cracking?
Simply drying the paint is not the question. It's the prolonged heat of the oven that bonds and hardens the paint permanently. Hair dryer would not achieve same results. I'm also concerned about solvents (i.e. Windex, etc.) used in the future to clean the mirror.
