Hi guys I was wondering if you could help me! I am lost in the plethora of enamels that are available and want to know if these ones would be suitable for use on glass beads. I am assuming you simply apply similar to frit and melt in!!! or am I wrong about that!!!
Thank you

oops nearly forgot link

In theory, yes.... however you may find that these are very low firing enamels and when introduced to a flame will burn away very quickly.

Transparent colours generally tend to be lower firing in enamels anyway.

I think the price is quite a lot too, you are paying for the selection rather than quantity I think!

Oh Rachel where do I get enamels from ??? I am guessing thompsons are the ones I want!!!
