Thompson Enamels - encasing?
I like to do a lot of encasing and I was wondering if anyone knows if Thompson Enamels can be encased and I want to use 96 COE glass to do this, are there Thompson Enamels specific to 96 COE like there are to 104 COE? Anyone know who carries that?

OK, I was just at Arrow Springs and answered my own question about what's compatible with 96 and where to get it (note to self, check vendor before asking question  ).
I still would love input on how the enamel does with encasement with Uroboros glass, thanks!

Thompson makes enamels that are "compatible" with 96/90.
I can't speak personally for Uroboros, but there are old threads about true compatability with Bullseye and 96 coe on here and linked to another site.
I bought about 15 of the colors 3 (?) years ago I think. I made beads in several colors some surface decorated, some pressed, some encased. Did freezer to boiling water a few times and I take a look at them every couple months. No cracks so far.
The tests that the other person had done were fusing tests. I believe that there is better fusion with flameworking the enamels than fusing since I have never had cracks.
