Step1: How to prepare

The Norton White Tile Method involves preparing a white ceramic tile with a solution or suspension of Titanium Dioxide (the chemical which makes paint white). This can be made by mixing  denatured alcohol to TiO2 powder or by spraying the tile with a white paint that has at least 10% Titanium Dioxide (the higher the concentration, the better).

I had a spray made especially for me from Andrews Coatings in Wolverhampton England.

Only a thin layer that covers the whole tile is required.

Leave the tile for 24 hours to dry thoroughly and then engrave using either blue light or UV. A test is recommended to establish settings.

After the engraving is done, use acetone and wire wool to remove the paint. The engraving is permanent and even a chisel will not remove it so do not worry about using wire wool to remove the paint.
