To use this fine silver metal clay that features great working time, high detail pickup, and the best price in the market, follow these instructions:

Prepare your work area: Choose a stable work surface with adequate lighting. Cover it with a plastic or glass sheet to make a waterproof work surface. Keep your tools and hands clean and free of any oils or lotions.
Prepare the clay: Remove only the amount of clay you need from the package and keep the rest tightly wrapped in plastic. Apply a thin layer of olive oil to your hands and tools to prevent the clay from sticking.
Shape the clay: Use your hands and tools to shape the clay into any form you desire. This clay has a long working time, so take your time and enjoy the process. It will pick up even the smallest details, so feel free to be creative. The shrinkage rate of approximately 15% allows for even more detail in the final piece.
Dry the clay: Let your finished piece dry completely before firing. You can use a hair dryer, hot plate, or toaster oven to speed up the drying process.
Fire the clay: Once the clay is dry, fire it in a small kiln or with torch. This will convert the clay into .999 fine silver. Follow the instructions for your specific kiln using temperature and times below.
Firing with kiln
Place in kiln for 30 to 90 minutes at 1470f/798c to 1600f/843c
Torch Firing
Holding butane torch about 2cm from piece fire to an bright orange. Relatively quickly piece will flame up for a sec as binder burns off. Back off on heat while moving flame in circular motion to distribute heat so that piece holds bright red for 10 minutes on fire brick or open flame safe surface.
**Torch fire pieces are never as strong as kiln fired items. If you wish to bend your item we recommend refiring in kiln at 1650 for 2 hours.
Finish the piece: After firing, let the piece cool and then sand, file, or carve it to refine the shape and remove any rough edges. You can also polish the piece to achieve the desired finish.

Remember to collect any scraps or dust from your silver clay items, as it can be turned into slip with water to be used in future projects. This new formula of silver metal clay offers a great opportunity for artists and crafters to create intricate and detailed pieces at an affordable price.

Surprised me

I received a free package of Metal Magic silver clay a couple of years ago as a door prize at a metal clay conference. I'm working diligently to get pieces made for an upcoming trunk show and decided to try it out. While the package seemed rock hard, it softened up when I opened it and it was easy to work the clay. Clay was very soft and flexible with great working time. It took amazingly fine detail and fired up beautifully just following the package directions. The shrinkage rate of 25% worked well with the fine detail I was doing for a great result. I want more!

I'm In Love!

I was leery about trying this clay, but I was so happy with the results! I love working with it...it stays workable longer than PMC3. I dried it in the toaster oven per directions, and fired it at the same schedule I use for PMC...which is a bit hotter and a bit longer than required. I think it's harder after firing than PMC3, but I still wire brushed, hammer hardened and tumbled the pieces. The results were amazing! I'm sold...ordering more now!

Great Value

I had used PMC or PMC3 for years but the price was great on Metal Magic and I gave it a try. I had so much less problems working with this clay than ever before. I know I have more experience now but the clay really looked great. I will order this clay in the future.

Surprizingly Good!

I bought when on sale, but was leery upon opening. The clay had a softer, spongier feel initially but firmed up when working with it. It reminded me of what double-bubble chewing gum feels like when chewing: too soft initially, but after 30 seconds of working it, it becomes the perfect texture to do what is planned of it. I thought the clay felt a bit strange too. It felt a tiny bit less smooth (compared to PMC3) yet also a bit slickish (like maybe a touch more glycerin or whatever is in metal clay?). But it did great when using textures and a tad stickier in the silicon molds (not bad). It fired fantastically, and I could not see any difference (postfired) in this clay than PMC3 (other than shrinkage, which I alloted for). I recommend this, and it is worth the price!
