Sunshine enamels are a very fine grind and should not be sifted. Can be mixed with other mediums and can also be screen printed or painted. When applied in many thin layers with firing in between, the colors may be more opaque and intense. Applying one thick layer will cause the enamel to crack. Make sure each layer is completely dry before firing.
