The process

Before processing can begin the workpiece should be cleaned to ensure that no dirt or grease is found on its surface. Powdered glass is mixed together with a binder and sprayed onto the workpiece. In an oven melts the coating which flows out to a smooth, level surface. After cooling to room temperature a shiny, smooth and scratch-resistant glass-like surface is obtained. The process can then be repeated, and several layers of different colors can be added.
