Enamel

Clean the items that you are working on with care, any greasy residues may affect the enamel's adherence.
The items must be perfectly dry before attempting to enamel.
Gently shake the enamel before thoroughly mixing it with a stirring rod as the pigment often settles at the bottom of the bottle. Incorrectly mixed enamel may cause problems - Mix the enamel with the hardener for flat or curved surfaces according to your needs.

• Hardening at room temperature requires a temperature of at least 20° C and items should be left for 24/48 hours.
• Heated hardening in a furnace or oven takes around 4 hours at 40/50 °C or around 2 hours at 70/80° C

Temperature should not exceed 80° C, this would reduce the time required for hardening but would affect the enamel's sparkle.
Items should be left to cool progressively in the oven or if impossible on shelves.
BEWARE: rapid cooling produces surface stress and may cause the enamel to creack.
