Love this!! Thank you!! If you ever need people to test your metal clay,,,let me know!! Been using it since 2005.
Loved it. Great tips
I learned a lot thank you ❤
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!
Thank you for watching! Yes, art clay silver can be hallmarked （silver 999）.
Surface doesnt look ultra shiny, is there aome porosity? Like tiny holes after heating to 800 c?
@@trkoo Good question ! This is because of silver’s crystallization by firing 800℃. If you want to make it shine, you can do rubbing with polishing stick.

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.
@@artclaysilverkosugi Thank you so much!
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
Why does the silver clay ring oxidized very bad after touching water? What I did wrong? Thank you 🙏🏼
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）. ↓

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 🙏🏼
thank you 💛@@artclaysilverkosugi
Do you use other metal clays at all? Thanks, great work
ThankI you for watching. I used PMC3 clay silver once. 😊
Recently 2 rings I made and torch fired broke in 2 places on the band. Do you have any suggestions to make sure this does not happen again?
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.
Can these jewelry pieces go in water?
Yes
