    And here the last part of my comment.



    As holding
    agent i use a mix of wallpaper glue and distilled water. Make an a bit thicker
    solution of the glue and give 10-20 drops of the stock solution into 100 ml
    distilled water. I use as a spray gun a flower-spray gun.

    Instead of
    copper wire for cloisonné I use a copper alloy wire 15/85. That means 15 % Zinc
    and 85 % copper is in the alloy. This alloy oxidized during all following
    firings only a bit, much more less than copper. The other advantage is, that
    the very thin oxidized film don't jump off during all following production
    steps. After grinding and firing the cloisonné, the wire get back its golden
    gloss and this gloss is stable for a long time, much, much longer than the
    gloss of copper wire.  less

    Hi Rudolf,

    I think you
    know that. But I'll write it anyway. You can reduce copper oxidation, by
    enamelling a copper piece on both sides at the same time. There are some
    methods to do that. 1) Dip the whole piece in liquid enamel, let it dry and
    fire it. Lead Free liquid enamel you get in different colors by Thompson
    enamel. But you can make it also by yourself. Make a mix of a bit finer
    powdered Enamel + water + a bit holding-agent and about 1-2 % carbamide. The
    carbamide holds the enamel a bit in suspense. Before using, stir the liquid
    enamel. But be careful not to produce bubbles in the mix. Dry and fire it. By
    both methods you get only a bit copper oxidation at the rims of the piece.

    The other
    possibility is sieving a thin layer of enamel on both sides of the work piece
    at the same time. Atomize onto one side of the ws a bit holding agent. Sieve on
    a thin layer of enamel, spray again, but so, that the enamel layer is only
    moisturized but not wet. Sieve on a new layer of enamel. This procedure can you
    repeat 2-3 times. At last spray again a thin film of holding agent, so that the
    enamel is well imbued. Let the enamel layers dry very well.

    Turn up the
    work piece and make the same procedure on the rear side. After drying the ws
    well, put it onto a trivet and fire it.

    As holding
    agent i use a mix of wallpaper glue and distilled water. Make an a bit thicker
    solution of the glue and give 10-20 drops of the stock solution into 100 ml

    I use  since more than 50 years very successful Wall-Paper-Glue. Make at first a thick solution, and thin it than with desilled wator so as you need it. Thicker solution hold very strong cloisonné-wires on steeply areas. very strong thinned it is perfect for spraying and holding enamel powder also on vertcal sufaces. Spray at firs a thin layer of thinned wallpaper glue to the metal, powder an also thin shift of enamel over this. than spray again only so much glue, that the on sieved powdwer get moistered. Than again enamel powder. If nescessary a new spray and a new powder sieving. mostly are 3 times well. At last spray glue again, so that the on sieved enamel is light dump, but not wet. Dry and fire.

    Good luck
