    Angi, I've never enameled on cast silver myself, but I still may be
    able to help some.  First off, if it's cast sterling silver you will
    need to depletion gild the piece to bring the fine silver to the
    surface.  As far as counterenameling, it really depends on the size
    and thickness of the cast, also how thick of an enamel layer you are
    planning on doing.  The old saying, "Everything is relative", applies
    here. :-)  Lisa -- Lisa Hawthorne studio.art AT att.net
