Key takeaways: The black will have to have at least two layers, possibly three to make sure it is even.

Both the black and white enamels are very opaque so even the smallest amount will show up (white on black or vice versa). So in this case I did a final layer of black using 80 mesh sifters of various sizes in order to avoid sifting any onto the white stencilled area of the cat.
