Preparing and Firing Cloisonne`

• 1). Clean your metal thoroughly then spray it with a thin, even coat of Klyr-Fire mixed with water.
  
  
• 2). Arrange the cloisonne silver or copper wire in the desired design. The wire will stick to the Klyr-Fire until the piece is fired.
  
  
• 3). Wash your enamel pieces. Add wet enamel to the metal in the design you're using.
  
  
• 4). Put your cloisonne piece into a kiln that is heated to 1,600 degrees. When the enamel melts, remove piece and allow to cool.
  
  
• 5). Add more enamel and repeat the process. You may need to do this several times to get the desired look.
  
  
• 6). Smooth your piece by grinding it with alundum stone under water.
  
  
• 7). Wash the piece using a fiberglass brush.
  
  
• 8). Fire-polish your cloisonne piece. Allow to cool completely.
