Painting on beads...

Does anyone know the firing temp for tracing black and enamels I can't find my Bronwen Heilman book and I really want to play ...

I have the Paul San Casciani book - he says to use 620 - 650 degs C for tracing work, best to err on the underfiring side of things - got a feeling enamels might be higher - 850ish?? (depending on manufacturer). You might have to fire the enamels first and then add the trace? Or, as life may be too short whack em all in the kiln and see what comes out. I think if the tracing temp is too high it will bubble.....

Thanks Sal..... I'm probs just looking more at using the tracing black.  I might root it out later and have a go

Cheers
