Wet pack pattern
- Using
your brush, wet pack colors next to each other in a pattern.
- Make
sure that the colors are right up against each other for the smoothest
surface.
- Wick
away excess water between packing each color.
- Laying out a pattern on paper first can be very useful. You can also use your scribe to scratch the layout onto the metal. Make sure to clean the metal after handling!
With the flexshaft
- For very crisp patterns, use the diamond coated
burs to grind away enamel in the pattern that you want.
- Wet pack the enamel into the areas that you
ground out.
- Fire.
- Stone smooth to remove any excess enamel and
bring out the clean edges.
- This is best suited for linear patterns and dots.
- Make sure to always use only diamond coated burs on enamel, and the burs must be used wet!
- You can also use diamond files to file grooves for linear elements.
