Yesterday evening I had to take some rubbish to my local tip.
There they have a stack of paint cans, which people have dumped, and with
the sign FREE PAINT.
Naturally I had a look to see what goodies I could find, and came across
four cans marked Jewellers Enamel.
Upon opening them I find that they are a powder.
I assume that this is the stuff that one sprinkles on a piece of metal, and
then heat the metal so that it becomes an enamel finish.
One of the cans is labelled "practice enamel". Is this a technical term?
I assume so as I doubt that it is made for trial and error tests!
I am sure that someone can tell me all about this stuff.
