Fine Silver Foil, 100mm X 100mm, Single Sheet

Description

This Fine Silver Foil (999) sheet is ideal for enamel work, adding a luminous background beneath transparent enamels or providing a striking finishing layer over an opaque enamel base.

How to use it step by step:

• Apply a base coat of enamel flux (colourless transparent enamel) or your chosen enamel colour to the piece.
• Attach the silver leaf to the pre-fired enamel layer using an adhesive or gum, such as Klyr-Fire Gum Solution (860 126), before re-firing at the same temperature as the base layer. This ensures the silver leaf bonds to the base.
• If the silver leaf appears dark, apply and fire an additional layer of transparent enamel to enhance the gold colour.
• You can continue applying layers of transparent enamel over the silver leaf as desired.

Each sheet measures 100mm x 100mm (4″ x 4″) and is approximately 0.1 micron thick. It is supplied between two sheets of waxed paper for easy handling and precise application.
