Soyer Enamels

We are pleased to be now able to offer these fabulous colours.  They are manufactured in France to a very high standard, and may be used on copper, silver and gold.  The transparent enamels are finely ground and very clear, even when unwashed.  Greater depth of colour may be obtained on copper if fired over a base coat of flux.  These enamels are not enitrely leadfree, and do contain some ingredients, which in some circumstances, may be considered toxic.  However, these materials are thoroughly combined in the enamels, so any risk is considerably reduced, if not elimated.  The amount of lead in these enamels is so small as to be almost non-existent.  However, reasonable care should always be taken, with any enamels.  In particular -

• Do not introduce enamels or colours to the mouth.
• Do not smoke, eat or drink whilst using them.
• Handle carefully, in small quantities, and store in closed containers.
• Wash hands thoroughly after use.
• Opaque red, yellow and orange enamels contain cadmium and should be handled with care.
• Colours shown are approximate, and shown fired onto coppper.
