Cleaning up copper after torch firing Enamel...
I'm torch firing enamel powders, frits, Diachroic, etc. on 24 oz
copper sheets.. I want to retain some of the natural copper color in some areas of the pieces after being torched (no underglaze..), so I need to remove the firescale. Mostly, I've been using SPAREX #2 and a dremel (with an arsenal of bits, discs, etc...) and the results have been pretty good but I have noticed some 'dulling' after cleaning where the end of the glass meets copper. I want to try and avoid this in future pieces and was wondering if anyone has a better method of removing the firescale.... ( I'm pretty sure the Dremel is causing the 'dulling').... I read somewhere that "Penny Weight" cleaner is supposed to work really well with enamel's, metals and is less caustic but I've never tried it.... Is it any good ? Also, should I stay away from the dremel for this application ? Would doing it the 'old fashioned way' ( by hand..) be a better option ? What would be the recommended sanding grit's / stones etc... for finishing the enameled / fused piece ? The finest grit I currently have is wet sanding paper @ 600 and 800 grit which I use to give the copper some 'tooth' to hold the enamel previous to torching. Any suggestions as to the 'above' would be helpful ! Cheers, /FC |

I "could" offer some specific help. But I won't. He can figure it out himself. Any answers he gets will end up on D-anus' website. |

You and the rest of your 'pals' have no more right to be here than anyone else. We certainly don't have to 'earn your respect' either. Having said that, you should take your own advice and not bother to respond either.... Hypocrisy at it's finest ! Looking forward to any replies.... Cheers, /FC |
