    Sure if you keep re-firing and the kiln is too hot!  This green is beautiful - what color is it and brand? I love greens - I usually make small samples and stick them on top of my enamel jars so I know what the color looks like on silver - I don't spend too much time making samples on copper, because they never come out that great! SILVER RULES!!  at least with transparents - great job-

    Dear Adrian,
    You can not burn red transparente enamel directly onto silver. You must first apply and burn a layer of silver flux. After that you can place and fire the transparent Emaiile. If possible, but only one time and not too long and not too hot to burn.
    I prefer as the metal underground fine silver. Alloyed silver you must be pre-treated before enamelling. Otherwise, the enamel change dramatically its color. The reason is the copper in the alloy.
    Friendly regards
    Edmund

    Oh sorry, Adrian, I see you used fine silver. But also on fine silver you must fire at first a coat of very clear flux before you lay on a red transparente enamel

    Welcome Edmund.

    How do I use only wrote silver 999.

    Today, I applied flux Schauer 0001 and blurted out new samples.

    We managed to :-). Reds are beautiful.

    Edward used as flux for silver?  Hard, medium or soft ? ( Schauer )

    Edward thank you for your time. :-)

    Hi Adrian

    I used mostly Soyer flux for silver No. 3. It is a very clear flux
