Yup, enameling is exactly why I got one (two after I accidentally burned the first one). I've been watching some of your videos and looking at the jewelry you're creating. I really like your work and now I'm thinking of trying some of the PMC's.
@@PamEast Looking at your work, you can really get some interesting shapes from it. I'll probably try it relatively soon. I have to get through a few other projects first.
Thank you thank you thank you. This is best review I have heard. I have three kilns borrowed and used so I would like it keep it small specially for enameling cloisonné. My question is, you can use this enameling and cloisonné? I have bigger kiln but would like to work on a smaller scale. My question is will this work at 1600 on a 120 service? Thank you.
I haven't tried Cloisonne in this. Remember, all the heat is coming from the bottom, not the sides or top. But as long as it was a small piece, I don't see why it shouldn't work. Good luck!
In the 1970's my aunt had one of these. She made beautiful, detailed cloisonnés for years using it, and passed it on to me. I still have it! I could not believe it when she gave it to me, that it was what she used to make all that gorgeous jewelry.
Hi Pam! I got the Ultra Lite Sudio Kiln, but I don't see the Metal Clay Firing Disc, so where can I get one and where can I get the Mica Disc? thank you!
Both the metal clay firing disc and the mica are available at this link. use the drop down menu to find the options. cooltools.us/products/ultralite-kilns?_pos=1&_psq=metal+clay+disk&_ss=e&_v=1.0&variant=41802706682044
Hi Pam...have just discovered you and metal clay...I love your teaching style and cute personality and hats...I am going to make hearts with words stamped in and a small heart cut out...I also want to make shells in silicone molds...and lastly I had seen these shells but am unable to post pics of them...they look like reallnsea shells that they have melted silver clay on and enamel...and some are crackled and antiqued...do you know if you can put the sliver clay and enamel after on sea shells? And with a blow torch...? I would send pics but it won't let me do it here...Thanks...Hi Pam...have just discovered you and metal clay...I love your teaching style and cute personality and hats...I am going to make hearts with words stamped in and a small heart cut out...I also want to make shells in silicone molds...and lastly I had seen these shells but am unable to post pics of them...they look like real sea shells that they have melted silver clay on and enamel...and some are crackled and antiqued...do you know if you can put the sliver clay and enamel after on sea shells?

thank you! Im so glad you're enjoying my videos. You can't use real shells with metal clay and enamels as they would burn up when you fire them. But you could make a mold of a shell and then make it in ceramics and glaze and embellish that with silver.
What are the requirements for safely using this at home in terms of the electrical power? How can one be sure it is safe to plug it in to an outlet in my home? Are they a safer choice for home use than a full-size kiln?
Other than the usual care one must take to avoid burns when working with hot things, these units are very safe. The components are double insulated and CE Compliant. Just be sure to always use them on a heat safe surface.
I initially thought this kiln was great, but be aware: if the element burns out (and mine did very quickly) and you are in the UK you will have a job and a half getting a replacement!
metal clay does not emit any toxic fumes. The binders are organic and mostly it's like burning a small piece of paper or blowing out a candle. The volume of smoke from the burn out is miniscule. These units do not produce any measurable amount of carbon monoxide.
Thank you so much for sharing this video. I'm having great results doing enameling projects this way :)
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Pam, You really have fun and show us how it's done!
I'm so glad this was helpful! (and I really do love my job. lol)

Give metal clay a try! It's a blast!

Oh and I would also like to purchase your Trivets, thank you.
All my trivets are available here: cooltools.us/collections/pam-east-enameling-products
Pam, I really enjoyed your video. Does using the Mica Sheet to protect the element extend the time to reach fusing temperature for enameling?
Glad you enjoyed the Vid! The mica sheet has almost zero effect on firing times
Thanks for this video!!! I would like to know if this little kiln will be able to melt silver, thanks again.
The kiln only gets to about 1600 max. Silver melts at 1761, so no. This would not work for that.

I luv your videos thank you for helping me be more confident in my learning 🙏😊
I'm so glad!
Thank you for shering this Video is cool
Glad you enjoyed it!

Wow very interesting! Do you need a ventilation system like with a big kiln?
No, Neither metal clay nor the enamels I'm using put off anything I'm worried about. Just make sure it's on a heat safe surface.
@@PamEast thank you!

Hi, Pam, Thank you for your video! My question is about the silver clay piece. Is that your texture mat called Windstream?
Yes! That's Windstream! :)
Loved it
Thank you!
Does it come with the dial black box?
No, the temperature control box has actually been discontinued. In January I will be refilming these videos without the box.
Thank you. Where do you get the mica for the floor of the kiln? Thanks.
Eudice.G
CoolTools has the mica. www.cooltools.us/UltraLite-Kilns-p/kln-701-p.htm Enjoy!

So sorry that happened to you! I've had mine for many years and it's still going strong.
Thanks for sharing! Do the kilns omit carbon monoxide, or any toxic fumes?
metal clay does not emit any toxic fumes. The binders are organic and mostly it's like burning a small piece of paper or blowing out a candle. The volume of smoke from the burn out is miniscule. These units do not produce any measurable amount of carbon monoxide.
Oh wow, I’d expect the silver to melt. I’m silly.
Not silly, just learning! The melting point of fine silver is 1761F. these little ultralight units don't get over about 1600F.
