Step by
Step ENAMEL ARTZ - GEMSTONE Instruction |
|
Super Simple Enameling
Use a
Melting Pan!
|
|
Lay the piece you want enameled on a
Non-Stick Crafter's Sheet in your
melting
pan. Sprinkle
Enamel ARTZ Powders where desired.
|
Let melt.
(Placing the lid on will speed up melting.) |
Trim excess from piece and shape it
while it is still slightly warm. |
|
Easy Enameling with a
Heat Tool!
Great for 3-Dimensional
Pieces.
|
|
The First Layer of Enamel -
Sprinkle powder over a dual stick adhesive. We offer a glue called
ARTZ
Adhesive. You may also use an 'All Purpose Spray Adhesive'.
1. Spray, brush or sponge adhesive on piece and let dry. When dry it will be tacky
and ready for you to sprinkle your first layer of enamel over.
|
2. Sprinkle enamel over
project and tap excess off. You can scoop this up and place it back in the
container if you wish.
3. Heat this layer of
enamel until melted.
 |
4. Additional Layers -
While your previous layers are hot (if your project has cooled off.. either
reheat it or apply another layer of adhesive).. sprinkle on another layer of
color.. and another until you've reached the color you desire. |

Wet Application - Wet Packing
Create
Precise Placement of Color!
|
|
1. Place a small
scoop of each color you wish to use in a paint palette, add a drop or two of
water. Mix so you have a wet sand consistency.
  |
2. Using a small
paint brush, apply small amounts of enamel into areas you want colored in.
When finished filling in spaces use a small piece of paper towel to wick out
extra water. |
3. You will need
as little water as possible in your enamel for melting. Don't worry if it
is still a bit damp.. this dampness will dry up with the heating tool.
Heat to melt.
 |
|
4. Additional Layers - Repeat
the above process until you reach the colors you desire. |
* tip - when you have reached a color
you desire but, have a way to go before reaching the top of the outline.. you
may seal in your color with
COLOR LOCK and continue to fill in over it with
clear TOP COAT. |
* tip - Lock your light colors in to
prevent darker colors from blending with them. Melt a layer of
COLOR LOCK
over the color you want to protect. Avoid placing any colored enamel over
the color.. as the Color Lock will seal the underneath color, but, won't stop
colors from being melted over it. Use clear
TOP COAT to fill in
over. |
