Clear - Soft Fusing: Transparent Lead Free Enamel
This is a transparent vitreous glass enamel powder, ideal for torch or kiln fired enamels on copper or silver.
This enamel fires at temperatures from 760°–815 °C on fine silver and copper as well as fired fine-silver metal clay.
How hot is that you ask?
If you are using a torch to fire your enamel pieces, you can judge the appropriate level of heat and time in the flame by when the enamel becomes glossy.
Experimentation is required, as well as practice, to understand how your individual torch works. Whether you use a torch or a kiln, firing times will depend on the metal, as well as the size and weight of the piece.
This transparent enamel is a soft fusing clear that easily absorbs copper oxide. It is great over textured metal or over coloured enamels.
Sold in a sample pot size (approximately 3 grams, perfect to test the colour or for little projects) or medium pot (approximately 10 grams).
The medium pots are better if you are a regular enamelist and want to have this basic material on hand for all your needs.
