Main differences between new enamel and soft enamel

There are many differences between new enamel pins and soft enamel pins. What is the main difference?

It is the texture.
New enamel is pasty fluid. New enamel pins are filled with colors to the edge of the metal and polished smooth. You will feel the smooth if you rub the surface.

Soft enamel is liquid enamel. Soft enamel pins are filled with colors lower to the raised edges of metal, not completely flat like new enamel pins. They are more texture, and the prices are affordable, which are more appealing to many people. As an option you can request to add a layer of epoxy coating to protect it.
