Jessica, thank you for watching. I am sorry that your work was not succeed. Solution is as follows: ・Kneading clay 5~10 times first ： If kneading is not enough, components may not be uniformed or contain small air, and may be fragile when baked. ・Do not move until cool down completely ：If move during firing, ring is still soft and easy to break. ・Check the ring size shrinking 10%：torch firing is more difficult to bake sufficiently than using electric furnace. Before firing, draw and take a size of the ring on the paper. After firing, put the ring on the paper and check whether shrinked about 10%. If not, firing is not enough. Art Clay Silver can be fixed with Paste Type even if broken. Next time I would like to show how to fix.
Hey! That was such an informative video - thank you! Question - can art clay silver be hallmarked? If so, is it 925 or 999? Sorry if it's a stupid question and thank you in advance!
Hi, if I wanna make a ring that is size 6 (USA) how many sizes bigger should I make the clay initially? Are sizes 8 or 9 just the right size when it shrinks for a size 6 ring when you fire it?
Hi, thank you for watching! Art Clay Silver shrinks about 10% after fired. To make US size 6 （Inner diameter 16.4cm）, you need to make US size 8 at first. After fired you can file and adjust size with tools.
You did nothing wrong :-) Pure silver does not oxidized with water, but gradually oxidized in the air. Otherwise, your “water” may contain sulfur, as hot spring water sulfurize silver. Get any silver agent and polish the ring. You can restore the shine of pure silver. Please Check this video if you want to know how to polish with silver agent（8:15）. ↓ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lul6fOioYFk.htmlsi=33Bc0REa2Q_ZnfX8
This is the first time I tried Silver Clay 925. With normal silver 925 in the ocean my jewelry never got oxidized. That’s why I was surprised with silver clay 925, the jewelry got oxidized 😢 thank you for your respond 🙏🏼
I bought a couple of ounces of silver clay. I did not use it right away and left it unopened. Later i got it out and it had dried up totally. I tried adding water but it did no good. What should i have done?
Art Clay Silver can be rehydrated with the following steps: 1. break the clay into small bits 2. wrapped with plastic wrap → add some water →knead 20~ times 3. Leave for a days until get soft
