These pieces are made of cast iron bathtub fragments, which did not meet the A-1 standard of quality at the Kohler factory. I cut up the tubs and used the fragments to create large-scale ‘fusion flow’ tests.  Fusion flow refers to the viscosity of the enamel when it is at its flow point. This fusion flow point is the key element to using enamel as an adhesive. (see Blobjects and stars for examples)
