Question on technique if I may. With the enamel work do you just cut out a small groove or puddle and pour the enamel in there? It's not thick enough to be brushed on and stay on wherever you put it if the surface is a little rounded is it... would run off?

Hello, in this case, I have used the same technique as in gold inlay. I chose the required area, I make a grid on the bottom of this carved area (selected area) and then I spot layer after layer of enamel (cold enamel). Cold layer of enamel is applied after the previous layer has dried. After this procedure, cold enamel holds at a fixed location. :)
