Here is the full process:
Steps for Enameling Rings:
1. The first and most important step in enameling a ring is cleaning and degreasing it. This is essential to ensure that the enamel adheres uniformly.
2. Once the desired color is chosen, I place a small container on a precision scale, which helps me measure the correct ratio between enamel and catalyst.
3. After thoroughly mixing the enamel with the catalyst, making sure no air bubbles form, I transfer the mixture into a small syringe.
4. At this point, with great care and attention, I apply the enamel to the ring using a small precision brush.
5. After spreading the enamel over the entire ring, I correct any imperfections until the enamel appears smooth and even.
6. Once the enameling is complete, the ring is baked at low temperatures. The enamel is cured for two hours at 80°C.
7. Finally, I inspect the enamel’s finish and perform an additional polishing with a cloth.
