Inclusions & Additions / Re: Enamel recomendations for ...
Last post by Dietmar - April 08, 2021, 08:45:10 PMDifferent idea:
Print or stamp with a water based glue like gum arabic and sift finest frit or powder on it. Tilt the base glass untill the exess frit or powder is falling off while tapping gently.
Advantage: You can use the original colors compatibel with the base glass.
Disadvantage: You have to fire after every single printed color if you don't want to mix the exess frit or powder with other colors.
Can you explain more about the project? Has it several colors, fine lines, or a rough surface? What glass are you using for the base to print on it? If that base is a reactive color like reds, greens ot tourquoise you'll heve to think about the colors that might react with the base to red or black outlines.
