Easy Enamel Cabochons! 

Melodie Fairburn Thanks Melodie. I'm trying to get one out every two months or so. Did you see the two we did at the end of March? Busy, busy. Thanks for your support and thanks for continuing to watch my silliness.

Frances Winyard Thank you so much Frances!

Sorry Kallie, diamond shapes are another whole can of worms. I'm slowly working on a video on setting square, diamond-shaped and rectangular stones. Don't have a release date yet. But, hopefully, that will help when I finish it. Thanks.

@@NancyHamiltonJewelry K I was just wondering. Thank you for the video

Gabby Flying Chef Hello my friend! Thank you, as always and thank you again for the beautiful bracelets. I wear them whenever I go out - which is sometimes too much and other times - not enough! Thanks.

Beth Millner Hi Beth. Yes, I do but, there is always clean up. There are ways to spray the adhesive using an aerosol can: Thompson Enamel carries this: A7 - Preval Aerosol Kit/ This is also useful when working on very dimensional pieces and for areas that are hard to reach. I have not tried your idea but, would image it would work best with a flat piece. You could also draw or transfer your pattern and then carefully paint the Klyr Fire within the lines - I would work in small sections. Another method involves using either a negative or positive stencil. Cut the shape from regular printer paper. Fire one or two base coats of enamel onto the metal. When done, paint the whole piece with the diluted binder. Press the paper onto the wet surface. It will stick where it is wet. Sift and remove the paper. It helps to make a pull tab on the stencil for ease of removal. All of this is much easier on a flat surface. There is also enamel paint: acrylic and water color to name a few. You can also make toner decals. See Enamel Work Supply: resources: Toner Decals. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching. N

Barbara Smith Hi Barbara, You can purchase leather gloves from a gas supplier or hardware store. Harbor Freight also carries welding gloves: Item#41054. I use two types: regular leather work gloves and welding gloves. You can also find a leather shirt or buy a leather or fire resistant apron for additional protection. My friend Sugar wears a leather vest/dress that she purchased at the thrift store. She wears it whenever she solders. Eye wear: Any safety UV glasses. Amazon has many types like this one that blocks 99% of UV rays: Pyramex Fortress Safety Eyewear. No open toed shoes and keep those gas hoses out of the way. Thanks for watching and for respecting your safety. Enjoy. N

Ben Nuccio Hi Ben, you can sift another color over it - especially for opaques. There may be a change in color though. Try two coats. I would experiment before enameling your final piece.

Thanks.

Steve Anderson Hi Steve, I probably won't be doing that today but, it had crossed my mind(s).

Steve Anderson Ooops! Too late!
