"This is John Mendez with Expert Village and we are going to use some pigment with our resin and hardener polymer to make it into and enamel. And I have chosen a pigment that is used for lots of different purposes. You can add this to paint, you can add it to all different kinds of things. People even use it as makeup. This is a powder pigment and this is Aztec Gold and this is a perfect color for the back ground on this color cooper gold jeweled frame. So we will want to use a really small amount in there. And what we will do next is we will mix it. And you can see it will change from clear to gold, and you have enamel. Now once you apply this to your jeweled frame you can go ahead and bake this and it will become a nice hard enamel and keep all those beads together on your frame for a very very long time. "
