Process & Production
Iron filings were fired for 8 days at 550ºC, until the iron becomes red as blood; then the iron should be boiled in distilled vinegar (CH3COOH) until the vinegar is completely evaporated. Then the powder was grinded and painted on glass with gum Arabic dissolved in distilled water.Find more at: Â. Santos, M. Vilarigues (2019).
