This is a new venture by BSOE, they would like contributions from all enamellers; for updates on the information below. See their web site at www.enamellers.org

Enamel Reports is devoted exclusively to the sharing of information about the enamel products of all manufacturers. Contributions are invited from anyone who wishes to report an experience with individual enamels, whether good or bad. Multiple reports on single enamels will be included, as the requirements of enamellers will vary.

The reports are listed numerically under the heading of the enamel manufacturers, which, in turn, are arranged alphabetically. Information about how to contact the manufacturers or suppliers is listed alphabetically on the Suppliers page on the BSOE website. www.enamellers.org

Manufacturers' comments will be posted just under the heading of their company.

Since pyrometer readings seem to vary widely from kiln to kiln, no actual firing temperatures are recommended. Enamelling on silver is very different from enamelling on copper; what is high firing on silver is probably a low firing for copper.

All the information below should be treated as hints about where to look for specific effects and enamel behaviour.
