Right...'Enamelling' as such, is fun and not too difficult to do...
I have not done any in a long time now, but this inspires me to want to get
back to
it.
Potters posessing their own Kilns could certainly do it with but some
cursory introduction to the peramiters. It is such a cousin to Glazes in
it's way, only that the Glazes must 'fit' Iron, or what, rather than a Clay
Body.
Heating an enamelled Cast Iron Exhaust Manifold to 'clean' it, was another
matter!
That seemed too confused...unless one were to fire the Kiln only to the
temps just past where Carbon would burn off, which is way lower than
anyone's usual Fireing would tend to be...and why bother, when it could be
cleaned very well by other means?
