Title: Z-99 and Silver?
Post by: SilverGems89 on January 06, 2012, 06:28:56 AM
So i have a (very) small stash of Z-99 that keeps calling to me to use it, but before i even dare open the pot i'd like to know, does it play nice with silver? (wire or leaf) I don't want it turning into a brown pile of bird poop!  ;D

I've got a frit that I think includes z99, and it goes beautifully. Why not make just one small test bead first?

These are done with silver leaf and Reichenbach purple rose, so I can't see that you'd have any problems. These ones have been etched.

If you have any multicolour dark or iris orange frit, try mixing a bit with purple rose!
