After firing, all uncoated metal surfaces will be covered with oxide - scale. This can be prevented by covering clean areas of metal with the T39 scale protection system. The product is easily washed off. In translation books on enamel, this product is also called binder.
Separately, I would like to dwell on the firing temperature. 800 degrees is a somewhat conditional value, 10 degrees lower or higher will not play a tragic role during firing. When sending the product to the chamber, the temperature necessarily drops by 60-80 values, it will rise to the set value in about a minute. If you fire at a temperature of 750 degrees, you will do it a little longer, if you set 850, then faster. The end of firing is determined visually.
Counter enamel
Metals and enamel have different linear expansion bulgaria mobile database and after firing there is a possibility of cracks appearing in the enamel layer. To balance the stress in the enamel and metal, counter enamel is used, enameling the back of the product. In the Milton Bridge enamel line there is a special enamel T237. Counter enamel can be applied both dry and wet. Counter enamel is applied and fired first to ensure further successful firing of the product.
Firing stands
All kinds of firing pads can be bent from stainless steel mesh (non-magnetic). The mesh can be used as a flat support, bending the corners down to form legs. This support can be turned upside down and the legs used as support points when using counter enamel. There are special supports for firing items with counter enamel.

We would like to add that you shouldn't try to create masterpieces right away. Just try applying enamel in different ways to the base and
burn . Make a palette of the colors you have.
A very useful activity, especially for beginners.))
