========[ Invite a Friend - http://www.ganoksin.com/invite.htm ]======== Well, the McCreight instructions call for fluxing the channels, and grinding the niello in water, then gently dried. The fusing process shouldn't take the niello past 540 C (1000F), and needs to be pretty uniform. Spot heating doesn't really seem to work very well. If the metal gets hotter than that, then you will have the problem of the lead content eating into the silver. Often it doesn't actually flow, and has to be helped along with a spreader. I think your mixing the ammonia chloride with the niello, probably didn't help matters.
