Jessica now has her own channel... Enameling with Jessica kzread.info/dron/qtkAB5JxEpbu3prevetAvw.html . Check it out if you get the chance!

Nice demo and good work. I appreciate NO MUSIC! And thank you for not wearing makeup and being all dressed up like some of the women showing jewelry making. Nice to see a natural face and plain hands without a dozen distracting rings and things. Lovely enameling! Looks like so much fun. I wonder if you should stick with just propane instead of oxygen - burns less hot. What are your thoughts on that? One tip - keep camera focus on the pieces not on the speaker. We can hear you and it would be nice to see what you are talking about at the same time. Great demo!

I use a propane torch now and it works well. It just takes a little longer. Also, we will be having an enameling livestream on October 30, feel free to join us then if you wish. I will be enameling using a kiln.

Excellent video Jessica appreciate what you and Roy are doing to teach and inform

This is exactly my experience with enamel... though I didn’t have the sifters, and we used a standard propane torch. Nice little setup though.

Hi Jessica! I had no idea that one doesn't need a kiln to make copper enamel. I have to try this!!!

Nice hobby or business Jess, must be fun seeing these items start to take shape and see how nice the enamel comes out.

I haven't done any enameling like that since I was in high school always like the crackle finish I'm at Dad's groin what part of Michigan job moving to I just caught a piece of the new shop tours or y'all was talkin about the cracks and holes I would suggest spray foam insulation like the whole wall it's going to get cold

The crackle is definitely awesome! We will be in the Alpena area (north eastern side in lower Michigan). We plan on replacing several of the boards and putting up batten strips. Thanks for watching, Jessica

Hey Jess. They are really cool. Can you only do that with copper, or could you do it on steel too?

From my understanding, mild steel can be enameled but not stainless steel. I haven't tried it yet. ~Jessica

Possible to enamel a steel sink black using a butane torch?

May i please purchase a pair of sea green earrings? So lovely.

I wonder if you could use an HHO torch for this?

Sure hope you had a mask on when sifting the enamels….especially for your little helper.

Something REALLY important - don't forget to anchor your acetylene tank to something stable, like your table leg, to avoid a potential disaster, should the tank fall over

hi, how does it works on round surface?

You can enamel a domed surface if you spray with a mixture of 1:1 ratio of klry fire to water before applying the enamel. ~Jessica at Christ Centered Ironworks

Hi Jess, nice job. They look good. Would you tell me what the acid is you use? I remember you or Roy talking about it, but dont remember the name. Thanks

I'm using a strong vinegar, generally used for cleaning. We picked it up at home depot. ~Jess

Very cool Jessica!! Could a MAPP gas torch work for this? I believe it's basically a small oxy/acet torch. (?). Also, the enamelling powder....more or less, is it fine ground glass? Do you need an adhesive or fluxing agent, on the bare metal, before enamel powder application? Thanks! This might get me to dabble in expanding my (too many) hobbies. Lol

@ChristCenteredIronworks

5 жыл бұрын

Yes, a mapp gas torch would work just fine. A lot of enamelist use that with a hot head tip. The enamelling powder is finely ground glass call "vitreous enamel". Flux is not required, but the metal has to be clean from scale and oils from your hand. There is a holding agent called Klry-Fire which can be sprayed on a piece prior to sprinkling on the enamel (especially helpful on domed objects). It is a fun thing to dabble in :) Blessings, Jessica
