[TheForge] Enamel for iron

[Peter Fels & Phoebe Palmer]

Kevin, i think that  enamel for iron used to go on with 2 successive 
firings of differing composition. They used to sport a lot of lead.

There is also a lot of information about the application and firing process but they all begin with commercially made enamel.  What I am really looking for is details on how it was done before the age of industrial supply companies.  Thanks.
