To maintain flatness each section was put onto a stainless steel block and weighted down with an old-fashioned flat-iron whilst it cooled. This was made easier by limiting the thickness of the enamel.
It is ten years old and still stable.

Thank you, Gabor. It is an Indo-Tibetan image that represents wisdom and purity. I broke a lot of saw blades on this one.
Some newer enamels are on my blog :
