Hi,
New enamellist here firsting with white color....
Sterling silver is depletion gilded here three times (tried 7 as well, no difference) with 650C for 3mins, strong hot citric acid 10mins, black comes off and rounds 2 onwards no visible change.
Have tried several different brands of whites and several fluxes. All results are quite similar, fluxes turn green, and whites turn pink on especially on later firings. In picture fired two times at 760-790C, 2mins.
Any ideas welcomed.
