Can you kiln fire cold enamels as well as set them cold or do they just turn into a melted pile of goo?
-
And can you imprint stuff on it? :dance:
-
Cold Enamels are resins, so if you put in a hot kiln you'd charred goo AND some pretty toxic chemicals.
Hmm not sure about imprinting resin but you can definately trap fabric, papers and all kinds of stuff within it :D
You can imprint onto polymer clay though and that CAN then be added into/onto fired clay.

If I wanted to encase a flower or something in it, would I have to dry the flower first or could I just pick it and entomb it in resin?
Sorry, I keep asking things :o
-
I would probably dry it first - but the best thing to do would be test it ;)
-
Do you have to take special precautions when using cold enamels like using extraction? Why oh why is enamelling so hazadous?
-
People call it cold enamel because it sounds posh, but really it's just resin :D
I just make sure the windows are open and the room is well ventilated.
The fumes can be quite strong though, so if you have access to extraction then use it ;)
