    Those enamels are chosen because of their close compatibility(COE
    coefficient of expansion) with effetre or soft italian glass used in
    lampworking. The enamels are the same used for metals. The set has
    numbers that do not correspond to the ones normally used in
    enameling so it is difficult to know what you have. I have a set of
    those too from Thompson and they begin with 9. I don't know what the
    regular enamel numbers are either and I have used them for metals,
    but I don't do anything but one color with them because I don't know
    the 'real' numbers on them. 

    You should let them know they sent you the incorrect pack so you can
    get some accurate results.
