Enameling Iron, AKA Low Carbon Steel
Enameling Iron is excellent for all Thompson's Painting products, including Overglaze Painting Colors, Painting Enamel Kit, Acrylic Enamels, Water color Enamels, Liquid Form Enamel Colors and Enameling Marking Crayons. Enameling Iron is also valued for its minimal warpage during firing. Hairline cracks in painting enamel are eliminated when working on steel.
Enameling Iron contains 0.02% to 0.04% carbon. It requires a ground coat of GC-16 prior to further enameling. 18 gauge is used for plaques, 22 gauge is used for hammering. 18 gauge is the standard that is shipped unless 22 gauge is specified. Supplied in circles from 3" diameter ($2.55 ea) to 18" diameter ($52.65ea), squares from 3" square ($2.55 ea) to 18" square ($52.65 ea). Rectangles are supplied from 2" x 6" ($3.35 ea) to 12" x 18" square ($33.55 ea). Call for sizes available and prices. Special Order.
