Can you use any kind of torch?

Where can one buy the "glass brush" you mention at approximately the 15 min point? Thanks!

Thank you so much for your videos! I am just beginning the journey into enamels, how long and hot do you fire to burn out the copper oxides?

Excellent video Chris! Thank you!

I'm interested in flame painting copper too. Can you do both on the same piece?

Wow! An absolutely great video that everyone should watch! The tips are brilliant!❤

Finally❤ Thank you🎉

You are an amazing woman! What a brain🤗

Can I use copper?

I've now watched the first 2 of your videos. You're an excellent teacher and a pleasure to learn from! Thank you so much for creating these great videos. 🙏

what a great little video, i accidently bought a kiln the other day, and might know nothing about enameling so videos like this really help me out.

Thanks for a great video! I have to run out and get a shot plate! Love the trick of thick double-stick tape for holding little things. Frickin’ genius! Some bits of trivia- sand paper labeled P320 is 320 grit, not 600.yes there are too many stoopid grading systems that need translation for abrasives, but that’s not one of them. Acrylic and plexiglass are the same thing, just 2 names.

Thanks for the useful videos 😊. Can you tell me the angle measurement of your trivets? I can’t seem to find these in the uk, and mine cause bad trivet marks. My son will make me some , thanks

Awesome video! Thank you!

Lots of great tips and solid technique. A trick I use to keep my Sharpie lines in place when cutting is to slap a piece of clear packing tape over the entire piece.

Thanks for this video. I have a shot plate with moon designs. I’ve tried but cannot get a small round ball to fit into and take the impression of the moon. Any advice?

I haven't been able to find Penny Brite anywhere.

I noticed that you don't use Klyrfire on any of your pieces. Is there a reason why? Should it be used or what is the purpose of using it?

❤❤❤

Your videos are so easy to watch and learn from! Thank you!

You're videos are great! What is the best way to get a matte finish on enamel?

Really informative.

Nice video,Chris. Can’t wait to try it out. Thank you.

May the Force be with you.

Wow, i've been learning for a couple of months now and really appreciate the time and effort you put on this tutorial, thank you so much! Have been doing some experiments and it is so much fun and frustrating sometimes!!! A big hug from 🇲🇽 :)

Hi there, I love the pin adapter you drop into the top, I can[t seem to find it as a thing sold separately, can you help with the name of it or a link to buy them. Thanks

Great tutorial, thanks. Handy doodahs those shot plates. Neat trick with the nail set. Have you thought about using a doming punch instead of the force to hammer the shot in and spread it to fill the pattern? Might be able to use a smaller shot with less cleanup of flash. Would a drop of oil/lubricant help release the shot from the pattern afterwards and avoid them getting jammed? No wonder the cat was nervous - she's just been shot at with silver shrapnel.

Thank you so much for this video!! I have big beautiful druzy stone that would work perfectly for this. I had previously made two different bezels for it, that just didn’t work. Hopefully, this will! Thank you for all your time and hard work! Make more videos! I’m subscribing today.

just beginning , but I didn't see you use liquid form enamesl can you get crackle effect without it?

No matter how strange your hobbys get, No matter where you are right now on this Planet.....KZbin will Support you with First instructions!! Thx

Thank you. I need to make a mermaid and I want to paint the face. Great video, so helpful. 😊

Never seen green glasses except for lasers.

Where is your recommended list of tools? Love your videos - super helpful!

I can't seem to find the jelly pens w titanium? Could you share a link? And thank you so very much for sharing what you've learned! I love your videos❤

Thank you so much for these techniques, so helpful for a beginner - just looked at your jewelry in your shop - beautiful! Particularly the river stones - would I need a kiln to be able to do that technique?

Thank you so much, I'm a lampworker looking to learn enamelling

Do Mason Stains have a matte finish? Do you have to put a clear enamel on top?

I love crackle. I find that I have to leave things in so much longer to get any effect. If I'm not careful and I have the hole that I punched out at a low spot on the tray, the enamel will of course, dribble down and fill up the hole because it's in there so long! It takes forever to drill it out, too! It's best to play with the shape before putting much enamel on, so I can figure out how to set it on the tray so that it's either level or the hole is higher. (I usually use the W shaped trays) It's been a while since I've played with them, but you inspire me. Clear is my favorite, too, although both black and white have their place, too. I keep a notebook in my studio, and at the end of the day, I'll write notes and observations, or I'll record color combinations that I really like or sketch how I built a design. It's amazing how often I refer back to those notes. I know I wrote some down for crackle. I think I remember that it was suggested that you use both transparent and opaque...maybe because the transparent creates a third color when mixed with the opaque? I think I remember that it was suggested to also always use the crackle as the base on which to put all other colors, but I'd want to check that again. I might just have to play with those tomorrow! You got me all excited about mason stains, so that is what I've been playing with of late...that and adding frit onto pieces. I use fine and medium and get some really cool effects because it is glass, so it can really catch the light and sparkle, yet it fuses on and adds dimension...literally! I just got some of those "cloth" trays but have not used them yet. The tip about using clay on them is really helpful. Thank you so much for all you do.

thank you so much for this introduction video, super helpful !👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

do you fire after applying the Gelly roll pen?

Oh, one more question: I was wondering if I added some dry liquid semi clear enamel, if that would affect the color or outcome. I was thinking that by adding enamel to the mix, it might help it adhere....Then again, maybe I'm over-complicating it; something I do often! It might make it so it doesn't flow as easily through the pen. I just ordered a bunch of crow quill pens and nibs.

Thank you so much for this video! I just ordered all of the colors of Mason stains and I'm very excited to try using them with a quill pen. You gave the recipe for Jilly oil--Is there a reason for the mix or is it just because she liked the scent? In other words, would any oil work: lavender or orange or another? Thanks, again.

Lots of good tips for using tabs!

Thanks! Excellent tutorial. I knew nothing about shot plates and this will help me get into it.

I learn from India technique. It's call "Meenakari" Very afford and super magic. Sometime chinese japanese cloisonné Lovefromthailand

I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude, but informative. I have several videos on youtube as well and have had a few quite frank remarks learn and move on my motto. I have watched all of your 4 enameling videos always learning something new to add to my 40-plus years in the jewelry business. Respectfully Yours Mike E... Very Nice Job on videos

do a big favor and get rid of the music

Hi, thanks for this video. Could you share the name of the fume extractor you are using? Also, is it vented? TIA

Thank you for sharing so many different ways of sample storage ideas.

I know I am a newbie, but why wouldn't you use a little or fine paint brush to put the enamel onto the pieces? What would happen if you did?
