Been doing lapidary for years, using pre cast findings, moved on to some basic silver smithing. Recently found out about this clay!! Well doesn't this put a whole new spin on things. Will be watching some more of these tutorials, will definitely be trying this out.

When using the small ball between the piece and the bail, it appears that it is raw clay (not dried initially) as it seems like you were able to press it down a little. Is that the case or was it also dried initially?

I really enjoyed learning how to make clay bales and pendants! Can silver clay pieces that have already been fired, be suitable to solder to a piece of silver sheet? Or do the pieces have to go together when they’re still wet?

You can absolutely solder metal clay to metal sheet! We would recommend Phoenix Torch Fireable Clay for soldering as this clay does not "soak" up the solder like other metal clays can due to porosity: www.cooltools.us/Phoenix-Torch-Fireable-Clay-p/ptc-025-p.htm

Do you have a tutorial or can I send you my email address so you can explain it to me. I did a class at the gem show with art clay and the bail fail off and I would like to add a different type of bail

Do you know if this could be done with PMC3? I don't have a kiln and only use a torch. Thanks!

Hi Laura, yes... you could use PMC3 for this project. We do however recommend Sterling Silver Clay (EZ960) for the added strength. Thanks for the question!

Hi Carol, I'm not sure which gems you are referring to as there are not gems in this video. Maybe you meant to comment on the Nano Gems video? The Nano Gems can be fired up to 1725°F with exceptions to orange and dark orange which can be fired up to 1700°F. I hope this helps!

It sounds like your kiln is firing too hot. Kilns do not always fire at the temperature that they state. This is especially true with older kilns or with kilns that get used a lot (even newer kilns can be "off" on their stated temperatures). Our recommendation is to use an external pyrometer (a fancy name for a thermometer designed especially for high firing kilns) and test to determine whether the kiln is firing at the temperature displayed. After you determine by how many more degrees the kiln is firing, you can adjust your temperature from there. I hope this helps you. Please feel free to reach out with any other questions!
