Thank you Tim what I would most probably do is as the cans are free and with a diy you get a perfect cut every time is cut 3 or 4 of the same shape enamel one bit and then glue several bits together they are manly going to be used on cards as toppers or i can mount on chipboard cut shapes will give it a go when the kits come thanks again great vids you do marc
Hi Marc Although I haven't actually tried enamelling on cans I am pretty sure it would work just make sure the surface is absolutely clean and roughened so that the enamel will key into the surface. The thing to bear in mind is that the enamel when hardened is brittle so if you apply it to anything that can flex the enamel will brake off surface. So if you apply it to something as thin as a can you will need to handle them very carefully. Hope that helps. Tim

Hi Tim, can you sand and polish after firing it, in case of irregulareties??
I was told that you should put at least 2/3 layers on but your only putting one 1 on
Could I ask how long you cook it for please? I was lead to believe it was 150° not 160°?
Thanks...
Did you get an answer ?
