Bright Liquid Gold, 2g
The Liquid Metals are liquids applied with a brush or crow quill pen onto a glass surface, and when fired produce a thin metallic coating fused onto the glass surface. The Bright Liquid Gold (M-12) has a metallic gold appearance.
There is an organic binder in these products that must be burned out slowly, to prevent an irregular or flawed coating. Dry the piece in a dryer or on top of the furnace. Next the piece must be ‘smoked’. This is done by moving the piece into the mouth of the furnace for only 3 or 4 seconds. This is repeated several times to slowly heat the piece up to the temperature that the organic materials will burn out. Once the piece has stopped ‘smoking’, the piece is set aside and the furnace is allowed to return to normal firing temperature (1450 degrees F.).
The piece is then fired for 1 minute to 1 minute, 15 seconds (long enough for the underlying enamel to soften). If using on fused glass, the kiln should be vented until the temperature has reached 800 degrees F. The temperature is then taken to 1250 to 1350 degrees F., again, hot enough to soften the underlying glass. Good ventilation is suggested for firing onto enamels on metal and glass fusing.
The object must be fired hot enough to adhere to the enamel and low enough to not burn out. If the liquid metals are fired too low, they will wipe off. If fired too high they will discolour.
Brushes used with the liquid metals may be cleaned with turpentine, paint thinner or lighter fluid.
Made in Italy.
