Jennifer,

    Please note that there is a solder that is called Eutectic. B) It
    can be enameled over. It is specifically made for enameling.  It is
    used in Plique a jour or on any form, such as a pod to secure the
    seams. The eutectic is made specifically for this purpose and to be
    enameled over. The thing that you have to realize is that it will
    show as light color copper on silver and sort of a silver color on
    the copper. If you are not using opaque enamels, then just file off
    the area of color that you do not like and continue from there. A)
    The seams will stay intact as the enamel  melts at a lower
    temperature than the Eutectic solder. Beth Katz
