Very nice works Thank You

Wow thank you for shering is beautiful.

I've used the plastic bag technique with PMC for years, in fact I always used it when cake decorating many moons ago: interesting to see someone else doing it! The impression mat is really lovely. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you look so good.

Neato, I'm a journeyman traditional solder jeweler, and have often wanted to see this entire process. Thanks for the great video! Makes me want to experiment with metal Clay's!

You have great authority and clarity.

These videos are really helpful and I’m very excited to start my silver clay adventure 😀

❤️❤️❤️

cool tools video. Exelent video,very well explained we can hear you perfectly clear.Best explanation I ever heard thanks

You’re the bomb 💣🥰

By the way thank you!😀

You can use a steel bristle brush to polish too

Excellent video, thanks! Question: can the ring pellet be fired on it's end instead of sitting it on the ring side in the alumina hydrate?

Good question! I thought the same thing. Yes, the ring pellet can be fired on it's end on an open shelf, without the alumina hydrate.

I'd like to add one more thing. this is an inexpensive hobby for someone wanting to make something that they could sell, gift and be proud of creating.

Great tutorial and lovely piece - thank you, Wanaree! That ring that *you're* wearing, though - just wow! Do you teach how to make spectacular pieces like that?

Great video. I love all my Cool Tools products. Is it OK to wrap dissolvable pellets as well as reusable ceramic pellets with regular masking tape & fire them in a kiln? I'm using bronze PMC. Also how many sizes bigger should I make a ring to allow for the shrinkage. And lastly (sorry for all the questions). Is it OK to not use any ring pellets & just fire on a mesh stand? Thank you

Hello, if you fire your pellets with masking tape, the masking tape would burn out in the kiln. For information on how to size your ring that will be fired using our ring sizers, I recommend our instructions which can be found here: cooltools.us/v/vspfiles/assets/images/Product-RingSizerInstructions2016.pdf Yes, it is okay to not use any ring sizers; however, you will need to be thorough with sizing. Hope this helps, if you have any questions please feel free to reach out to us at sales@cooltools.us or 888.478.5060. We are always happy to help!

You can use a brush with water to get rid of the gaps

Nanoparticle clay, wow.

Hi Joanna, the kiln we have in our studio is a SC2 Paragon Kiln. Wanaree used this kiln for the video. You can find this kiln here: www.cooltools.us/Paragon-SC2-Kiln-p/kln-101-p.htm Have a good day!

I really like your tutorials! I have some clay that I’ve had for about 4 years. Silver, copper, bronze! I’ve never opened them! I’ve only used my Kiln for glass work! I think this is the reason why I haven’t used the clay I don’t know how to enter the settings I need for clay and even fire polishing my glass pieces! Sorry so long winded! I just want to get over the hump I find myself in! O and my question was going to be is the clay still good

Hi Deborah, the clay is most likely not still good. Squeeze the package and if the clay is rock hard it is not still good. Hope this helps!

Hi Nicholas, the kiln used in these video is a Paragon SC2. Yes, you can use this for lost wax casting. You can find the kiln here: www.cooltools.us/Paragon-SC2-Kiln-p/kln-101-p.htm Thanks for watching!

Shouldn't you wet the dry ring before adding more clay?

i have a question i got a kit as a gift the kit has a kiln that uses a blue sterno tablet and lit in a opening in the kiln the kit came with pmc flex i also tried EZ 960 that i got from cooltools the i made a small ring as a test to try it out the issue is the ring came out brittle it was a little deformed when i tried to bend it straight it broke the out side of it is silver but the center is chalky white i file off the white area and it is silver i am curious if im doing something wrong with the firing directions are all in japanese

@cooltoolsvideos

Hi Nicholas, a sterno tablet sounds like you are using a hot pot. EZ960 requires a kiln to sinter - it would most likely not sinter using a hot pot. The recommended firing temperature and time for EZ960 is 1675°F for 2 hours. You can find PMC Flex instructions on our website here: www.cooltools.us/Precious-Metal-Clay-PMC-Flex-p/pmc-305-p.htm Hope this helps!

Hi Nicholas, yes, metal clay can be reconstituted. We have a couple of videos you can watch on this here: www.cooltools.us/searchresults.asp?Search=reconstitute&Submit=Search Hope this helps!

Can these lovely pieces be hand torched instead of kilne firing?. :-) So excited to try!.

Sterling Silver clay cannot be torch fired. There are some fine silver clays that can be torch fired, but we wouldn't recommend them for use as rings, as you'd want a stronger metal such as sterling silver for rings. Check out our Learning Center to learn more :) www.cooltools.us/Metal-Clay-s/2330.htm

Goldsmith / Master Jeweler here: this is something to keep your children occupied or for those who begs you to teach them to become jewelers in case they're flakes and not waste your time, like I'd teach them my secrets of over 50yrs experience. Nice to see different approaches. Thumbs Up on video.

This was an excellent learning video. Usually, this artist is rather full of herself but not so in this video. She is extremely talented but sometimes her condescending attitude makes watching her annoying, which is sad because she is so very talented.

You're paying more for it than spot price because you can make jewelry without smelting metal, sand casting, and working your design in hard metal. Obviously it's much easier to make a piece of jewelry using the clay. Nothing is stopping you from either doing your own metal smelting and sand casting, or making your own roller, pattern, spacers, etc to save money. What you're paying for with the clay is convenience and saving time. I don't know if you value your time. If you don't, just skip the clay and go the long route.

You can use vaseline to lub your plate

just use lost wax method instead, waaaaay easier, cheaper and you get a better result...

ur so beautiful

Or just go out and buy one

This seemed like a great tutorial until I followed it. The masking tape didn't just "burn away" in my kiln it caught fire. When trying to take care of that my ring band shattered. I wondered why I hadn't seen that method shown in other places... Now I know why.

Hi Deborah, I'm sorry to hear that this happened, did you fire the piece in a dish of alumina hydrate?

Clay is great, but it’s no substitute for being a skilled craftsperson. I can imagine someone showing this finished item to someone and saying ‘I’m a jeweller, I made this’ and the reality is they didn’t and probably couldn’t hand carve this detail, so they wouldn’t really have made this, they cheated.

I totally agree with you. More on this : precious metal clay, once cooked, is waaay inferior compared to cold forged metal. And the finishing on this ring is no match for a real one.

Well since it didnt get done by it self, yes someone did make it. In either case its probably less expensive then having to pay the usually overpriced jewellers
