Product Description
Efcolor easy-to-use enamel powders are finally here!
Efcolor enamel powders are fired at just 150ºC, so there is no need for a specialist kiln. They can be baked in your home oven, or use the specially designed Efcolor Tea Light Stove (If you have a fan assisted oven you might need to check where you place your pieces, so that the fan doesn't blow the powder off before it has had a chance to set).
Efcolor can be used on a wide range of surfaces including wood, porcelain, glass, silver, copper, bronze, brass, stone, ceramic or any other surface that can be fired at 150ºC... including our great range of copper blanks which can be found here.
You can get some great effects by sifting through stencils or shapes, or by adding elements to the powder and then baking in place. We recommend you get a sifter/sieve top to make it easier to spread the colour over your surface.
*Please note - occasionally you'll find Efco colour powder on the outside of the bottles - this is from the manufacturing process but does not mean the bottle is leaking.
PLEASE NOTE: This product doesn't come with instructions, here are the basics:
Step 1) Sift your powder onto your chosen backing.
Step 2) Move onto your firing plate.
Step 3) Insert into an oven that is pre-heated to 150ºC.
Step 4) Remove after 3-5 minutes (be careful, it will be hot).

Excellent results
Bought a few of these with the oven a while ago to try. Love them! since then I've bought all the colours and textures. So easy to work with and give excellent results every time. Economical because the oven works on tea light candles, though if you are batch baking it can be done in a domestic oven (just don't use a baking tray you use for food)The colours are vibrant and clean, the texture powders give a great effect. If you've been thinking about these I would say give it a go. You can also buy a special EFCO glue that lets you use the powders on sloping and vertical surfaces. One thing that kind of put me off a bit was the leaflet, some of the projects look a bit 'cheap and plasticy' I thought. I didn't think these powders would work for me as I make jewellery to sell, however, if you're thinking the same these powders make it remarkably easy to add hardwearing colour to your projects. There are also a few tranparent colours in the range which work great with metal foils under them. Because it's either a candle or a 150 in the oven for a few mins to cure the powders these are excellent for Cloisonne projects. You can prepare your blank, solder some wires in place then add the powder into the cells and the low heat won't remelt the solder. If you've been thinking of dabbling with enamelling these are a great practice route clearly I'm a huge fan

Still working on them
Have found them difficult to manage the amount of coverage but this may come the more I use them. Also still working out how to blend colours. However they are cheap enough to experiment.

Excellent alternative to vitreous enamel
I was recently introduced to this by my teacher, and I was so impressed that I bought some for myself! Unlike many enamel products, you can get many of the effects you can get with vitreous enamel, but without the toxicity and the expense; and it's easy and quick to use, taking only a short time to fire, and few special tools (though the Tea Light Stove isn't very expensive, and saves using your oven). You can enamel anything that can take 150 degrees for a few minutes; and can use the enamel to hold gems etc. The results are impressive too - beautiful colours!

Easy to use enamel
A fantastic easy to use product once you've had a little practice with applying even layers. Just don't forget to buy the sieve tops like I did! :) I've actually bought these as alternative to regular glass enamels as I have very little experience using glass, and I will be using these on sections of silver clay pieces. I tried these on a piece of aluminium for tests and I found that they're also very strong with no chips or scratching. I bought all the transparent, glitter, and metallic colours and they are wonderful :)

Enamel covering
This product once you have tried it, with practise you can produce good enamelling, but it does take practise and patience, better than cold enamel.

Efcolor Cold Enamel
Brilliant product to use and the finish is superb. I use this after the ceramic paint I used kept bubbling.

A great product, so easy to use
I bought this after using these products at a local enamelling workshop. They are so easy to use, and produce great results. I bought a range of colours and some copper blanks, and spent an enjoyable day with my 9 & 11 year olds making a range of jewellery.
