    Personally, I think that the public has moved way beyond restricting
    their definition of enamels all being vitreous. The public is of the
    belief that that they can have their cars enameled for a couple/few
    hundred dollars. School ring manufacturers have been using plastics
    for years. Give it up now. If you are using vitreous enamels, you
    need to say it out loud and allow for the general use of the word
    "enamel". The paint stores sell plenty of it. 

    During my first six years on the bench, I seem to have become frozen
    into certain ways of doing things. Many methods that I found others 
    using or attempting, I thought "improper". Big mistake.
