Pam East's CounterNamel "Enamel Equalizer" Instructions

Pam East's COUNTERnamel™
"Enamel Equalizer"
WHAT IS COUNTER-ENAMELING AND WHY DO I NEED IT?
Enamels put stress on the metal, causing it to warp slightly, which can result in cracks or chips. Putting enamel on the back side of the piece equalizes the stress and no cracking should occur.
Ideally, enamel should be applied to both the front and back of the piece at the same time. This was tricky with traditional enameling methods. The enamel tended to drop off the back of the piece, even with the generous use of enamel adhesives such as Klyr-Fire. CounterNamel™ has solved this problem, making the task of firing enamel to the front and back at the same time a snap!
WHAT IS CounterNamel™?
CounterNamel™ is a lead-free enamel product. The unique formula creates a layer of enamel that is hard and secure both before and after firing. CounterNamel™ takes all the fuss and bother out of applying and firing counter-enamel Simply add water and it's ready to use!

I've found using enamel adhesive then just shake enamel powder over works just fine - then fire, turn over, clean top side then treat as normal for the front. Also, you've used a domed piece, which doesn't normally need counter enamelling, also if the copper is a heavier gauge it isn't always necessary to counter enamel.

Hi, it is possible to fire this enamel with the torch?, thank you

This is nice,but if s=using copper why not just first start with the counter enamel, pickle and clean one's piece, and then do the front? There's no trouble to doing that. If no pickle is available, copper cleaner works a treat.
