These enamels can be the most difficult to use, as these colours are highly sensitive to temperature and firing time due to containing cadmium pigment. Sometimes they can have black spots and be lacking in colour.
If you are using a kiln, reduce both the temperature and firing time. 780°C for 2 minutes is a good starting point. If using a torch, stop firing as soon as the enamel has melted. If you are doing multiple colour/firings use the opaque red, yellow or orange only on the final firing.
If you follow these tips, you shouldn’t have a problem.
