On Glaze Paint Enamel



On glaze paints, or China paints, as they are also used on pottery and stained glass, are very finely powdered enamels with very high content of metal oxides(pigment) and a very small amount of glass. They vitrify in the kiln at similar temperature than regular enamels. Contrary to those, though, water is not used as an application medium, but oil, usually paraffin essence or essential oil. This paints can be used to paint miniatures with a high level of detail over an already enamelled surface.
