Here is how I grind up my lump enamel
Why do I use Lump Transparent Enamel?
1. Before grinding them for use, they remain in pristine condition forever.
2. After grinding, they last much longer than 80 mesh colors before beginning to decompose. Much, Much longer = less waste.
3. I control the grain size; larger grains in an enamel layer helps eliminate air bubbles (better clarity).
4. Larger grains create a layer that is more saturated with color. Less color layers required.
5. Very little is wasted when preparing your colors for painting; the grinding process creates hardly any "fines" so you pour off less of your enamel.
6. Grain Size becomes a more intention decision while preparing and applying your colors which give you more control over your color.
7. No "white specks" which are frequently found in older 80 mesh colors.
