PierPaolo.

That is a wonderfull piece of work well done indeed, and I would be very interested to know what are your red inlays done with.

Brian it is a special enamel for metal that you use and after the piece have to be for 30 minut in the forn (100 grade)

[PhilusEstilius]

I understand however I cheat a little with mine but then I don't know because what I have discovered is that with some Roman artifacts that I find they have inlays very similar to what I do. I use an Epoxy Resin named Araldite where I add a very little portion of colour, in fact where I have checked out Roman inlays they do appear to have been some sort of a resin paste and mine can be done cold.

Munazio,

What is the name of this enamel that you use and where can you get it.
