What is enamel used for?

enamel is the white coating on your teeth.......it protects them from too much damage........ The inner portions of teeth are soft and easily worn down. The exterior surface or enamel is very hard, enabling a person to grind and chew peanuts, for example, without breaking any teeth. In addition, another meaning of enamel is a type of paint [ oil-based ] used for home improvement projects.


Can you use enamel over latex?

Do you mean oil based enamel, or alkyd enamel? It can, but you will have to prime it with a barrier coat of compatible primer for the new paint to stick to it. I would not recommend it though. If the latex paint has been around for a long time, you have a better chance of having your new paint last. Is this inside or outside? Is it exposed to temperature extremes? The latex paint will be able to expand and contract more than the oil based enamel. If you can imagine putting paint on a latex glove, letting it dry, then putting the glove on (stretching it) then you will have a good idea (although much more extreme) of what you are asking the paint to do. If you really must put an oil based enamel on top of latex. Use a good oil based enamel like Kilz or Zinnzer Bullseye before you paint it. After you put the barrier coat on, you will have a limited time to get the other paint on....check the directions.

What is the paint used for a wooden bangle?

It isn't so much the type of paint, its the finish on the paint, you want a tough durable finish for a Bangle. TIP: if you use a oil based enamel, use a oil based polyurethane finish, if you use a water based enamel, use a water based polyurethane, Make it a rule of thumb and you will never have bubbling or peeling problems.
