The enamel may thenbe polished as before described. If theopenings in the network are small enough,/. e. about ^th of an inch across, theabove methods can be dispensed the network panel upright, and fillin the spaces with enamel mixed with avery little gum tragacanth. When done,fix it upright on a support cut out of thinsheet-iron. Fire it quickly in a very strongfire, so that the enamel runs like water inthe spaces.
