    If you sift out the 325 fines, you should get clear leaded
    transparents. Wash several times or until the water is no longer
    milky. 

    You can get clear enamel on silver with Thompson's if you use the
    leaded. What they now produce is lead free. Many of us are still
    using the old leaded Thompson enamels. I never use leadfree on silver,
    so could not attest to that. 

    Coral sells the Japanese leaded enamels. I have found they have lots
    of fines. You need to sift out the very fine enamel that falls from
    the 325 sifter. Wash also before using. You can also get the French
    leaded enamels (Cristallerie St. Paul) which are wonderful on silver.
