Hardner and Gilders Black Enamel

Post by Robert Schwieger »

Hello. Just curious if hardener can be added to Gilder's Backup Black Enamel without problems when screenprinting on glass. Thanks. Bob

Yes go for it Bob! 10% is all that is needed. works great..... Give it a good stir,try to mix what you need as the enamel when mixed with this stuff can't be used again.

To echo what Dave said, stirring is the issue. Two suggestions, make sure you scrape the sides and bottoms frequently as you stir as the hardener tends to spin out to the edges. Also don't stir so vigorously that it fills with air bubbles as that accelerates curing.
