@Hugo @Michelle, of course you can enamel bronze or any metal really as long as it has some texture or something to “grip” on to. Cold Enamel isn’t special, basically it’s just 2-PART RESIN and you can resin pretty much anything as long as the resin can stick to it. Simple.

I’ve only enameled what was in this kit, so I am not sure if you can enamel bronze. You could buy a piece to try it out?

CHEAPER TO BUY than STERLING SILVER. BUT IF I HAVE TO I WILL BUY the STERLING SILVER TO COLD ENAMEL . THANKS

Hi John
Thanks for your comment and inquiry!
Unfortunately, this was the only cold enameling I ever did, after trying out this kit for the first time, so I’m not an expert in it :(
All I can suggest for you is to try it on a small sample piece and do some testing?
Sorry I couldn’t be more help.
Michelle

My name is John. Live in Yamba in Australia.
Researching cold techniques for enamelling.

Your post being the first port of enquiry. Thankyou for taking my email.

Looking aside from heat cured enamelling- can you easily bond your painted epoxy on to brass and copper ?
Provided that it’s wiped clean with that methylated spirit.

Some copper suppliers provide a film over the surface. Will have to look into that. So anything metal is OK that I mentioned. Do you use an etch ant to better the bond?

Primarily I want to make flag pendants and thought your idea might hold water rather than heat cure silica.

Please reply
Thanks. John

I’ve only ever done cold enamel on a flat surface, so I’m not sure. You may be able to make the enamel a bit thicker to stop it flowing so quickly.. maybe?
