Overfiring Enamels

Patsy – Wow I hadn’t seen your web site before. Very impressive. I’ve been meaning to let you know about my experiments with the customers enamel, that complained of a blotchy, muddy appaence in her transparents. She thought the fine silver was contaminated. I did a test with her enamel and my enamel and her metal and my metal. I fired everything 5 times at 1400 degrees and there was no discoloration. My conclusion is that temperature makes a big difference on silver! Keep on keepin’ on!

Coral,

Thanks for the note, and sharing your testing. I believe we have been overfiring as well!
