Debra Montgomery Enameling on Hot rolled steel- I forgot about using cold rolled steel. I have hot rolled 10ga steel leaves all formed and cleaned and then realized my mistake. Is there any way to make hot rolled work? Is using the ground coat GC-16 sufficient or is there any way at all to just use the liquid enamel color with one firing and leave it at that? One of my concerns is if I have to now use ground coat then I will have to use a base coat before the color and then fire the color - so three firings. Will that cause another problem related to scale? Please note that these leaves have been heated in a forge, lightly formed and the top surface that will get the enamel has been ground/sanded down to a clean bright silver surface with no visible scale. Will this make a difference? Thanks in advance
