Uses
|
This form of silver metal clay can be used to craft any type of item, although we recommend against using it for ring making due to its 25% high rate of shrinkage.
|
Workability
|
Metal Magic Silver Clay dries slowly, offering the artist a long work time before it begins to dry. Clay may seem hard in the packaging before use. Lubricate hands with a non-stick product, like Claymate or Slik, and work the ball of clay for a few minutes in a rolling motion. It will turn soft and pliable. Do not add water unless you are making slip. To keep the clay moist and usable, return unused clay to its original packaging or store in a Clay Hydrator. Dry clay overnight before firing, dry on a hot plate or dehydrator at a maximum temperature of 175ºF for 30 minutes. Drying temperatures above 175ºF will begin to burn off the binding agents, which may cause distortion to your piece. After firing, conventional jewelry tools can be used to finish your piece by burnishing, tumbling or applying a patina and polish.

Embedded Objects
|
Any object, i.e. Cubic Zirconia, lab created gemstones, findings, etc., can be fired in place as long as they can withstand the kiln firing temperature of 1600ºF for 30 to 90 minutes. Check out our Gemstone Firing Guide for details on a specific stone. Some more sensitive stones may require a carbon firing. |
