Hello !

Last month I sent out a news letter about slumping bottles with enamel labels.  Since then, I've learned a few new things:

-Many readers let me know that Grey Goose has changed their printing and it does NOT hold up to slumping anymore.

-Success seems to be temperature dependent.  Many bottles with enamel labels seem to hold up to slumping temperatures but burn off completely when fired to a full fuse.  When in doubt about printing, slump.

-I still haven't been able to figure out how to pre-determine if a label will burn off.  If you have any suggestions, please let me know!

And, the list of successfully slumped bottles with enamel labels was far to long to include here, so it published on my website.  I will keep adding to it as I get more photos.  If you'd like to add one, just reply to this e-mail and let me know.
