Hello, I was just wondering if it was possible to enamel metal using ceramics glaze.
no. doesn't really work. The coefficient of expansion isn't matched, which means that the metal and the ceramic glaze will shrink a too different amount and rate to stick together. I've tried it once with heating the metal from the back and it didn't work at all, so I must have done something else wrong, but it was discouraging enough that I didn't pursue it. And I can tell you that even metal enamels don't work on all metal. I tried to enamel silicone bronze and while it works occasionally, mostly the enamel just pops off while cooling.
NO. you may desire to eliminate the tiles first. Laying ceramic tiles over the vinyl will only bring about them cracking. once you're having a hard time (been there, carried out that) removing the vinyl (linoleum), attempt applying some warmth. be careful to no longer overheat the tiles, they can supply off smoke and gas you mustn't be respiratory. otherwise, proceed chipping away on the vinyl till you have all of it off. believe me, you do no longer % to place the ceramic just to might desire to pull it up THEN pull up the vinyl, THEN positioned all of it back off. an excellent number of wasted time and money. wish this permits.
