In this video, Jan Harrell demonstrates enameling with stencils on a variety of metal pieces to really make these pieces pop. She introduces Enameling Squares, which are cost effective 28 gauge steel squares with a porcelain enamel coat. These require no counter enamel on the back, saving you time in creating your projects. Each square is 3" x 3" and can be cut down to your desired shape.

Was the glycerin used instead of an adhesive because (1) inability to repeat Ms Harrell's usual 3-time spray and sift of enamel, and (2) to keep the stencil from sticking?

Hi John, you'll want to use scalex. This prevents fire scale. You can find it here: www.cooltools.us/Scalex-1-oz-p/enl-015.htm

Can you torch fire the enamels when you use glycerine?

[@joycegonzales4994]

kitschnsink yeah, can you?

[@kitschnsink]

@@joycegonzales4994 that's what I'm asking.

Can these pieces be torch fired?

[@cooltoolsvideos]

Hi Suzanne, yes, these pieces can be torch fired. The Enameling Squares do not distribute heat as readily as copper; you will need to make sure to heat the piece evenly and come out to the corners to get them to fuse. If you are applying enamel to the black side of these squares (back) and using a torch to heat the white side, you can expect some slight graying of the white coating. Hope this helps, thanks for watching!
