    Yes, you can do both. Be sure to use hard solder. 

    1. Use hard solder for all soldering and have all soldering
        finished. 
    2. Heat from the back side. 
    3. Fuse enamels to an orange peel stage until the last layer. 
    4. Do not quench hot. 
    5. Follow normal ways of applying enamel and of cleaning metal. 
    6. To prevent warpage, use hollow forms and/or counterenamel.
