Hello, it is not our usual to upload so many videos at a time; however with our release of Pam East's products comes an exception for a release of a variety of videos to accompany these products. Thank you for your feedback.

Thanks for all those very informative new videos! Pam's products seem amazing, so cool that you guys are distributing them!! Wish I was living in the US or even better, that you guys were in Europe!

Hello, you can find Faux Bone here: cooltools.us/collections/faux-bone Thanks for watching!

Hello, you want to use squeegee oil, which you can find here: cooltools.us/products/squeegee-oil-5-oz

Hello, yes. Powder coats work on all metals. Thanks for watching!

Hello, so glad you enjoyed the video! Yes, coconut carbon is the recommended carbon for use with Aureus Bright Bronze Clay.

Hi Yvonne, we'll make sure to share your kind words with Karen! Yes, Art Clay and Phoenix can fire together. They are both low temperature firing clays, so you can use either schedule for both.

Hi Danielle, thank you for the order. We're glad the video has inspired you! The recommended cleaning agent for metal before powder coating is denatured alcohol or acetone. Hope this helps!

Hi Yvonne, not all metal clays are easy to use with the Finishing Touches Molds. We recommend EZ960, FS999 or Art Clay with these. If you are working with a more firm or sticky clay such as Phoenix or PMC, something that can help is leaving your clay in a clay hydrator in a small zip lock bag or similar container with the top of the bag open, this allows it to draw in extra moisture from the damp environment and become softer, which will help it more readily go into the low areas of the mold and scrape off without pulling everything out of the mold. It does make it a bit too soft for other work like coiling or texturing, so we would only advise doing this with a portion of your clay that you are planning to use only for purposes like this. Hope this helps!

@cooltoolsvideos Thank you for your quick response. Perhaps it would be a good idea to have that noted on the website, so people who prefer to use Phoenix or other clays that are not compatible with the mold don't buy the mold.

@@yvonnemairose6100 Thank you for the recommendation, we do have this information on our instructions, on the product page: cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0596/7092/1404/files/FinishingTouchesInstructions_e5c92b97-8be4-42ec-acb6-7c5e0c03c8b2.pdf?v=1670009458 For the future, we will keep in mind adding text regarding Phoenix specifically. :)

Thanks so much for the kind words Sharon!

Hello, we reached out to Jennifer for her opinion on this. She said: I would make a metal clay bale (like those we purchase for fused glass pendants) and attach it to the porcelain with E6000. That way, the bale can be embellished to match the porcelain cab and it (the bale) will be fully fired and strongly glued. Honestly, the silver on porcelain is simply silver adhering to the glass glaze of the piece. I am not confident that glaze can hold up to the pressure of a bale holding onto the cab. Hope this helps!

Hi Rita, you can find mica powders here: cooltools.us/collections/mica-powder We do not have a video on using them to paint fine silver. We will keep this in mind for the future. Thanks for watching!

Hi, Cindy used a stencil to emboss Cyprus Copper metal clay and then fired it. Hope this helps clarify!

Hello, you should use a designated toaster oven. Powder coating should not be in contact with food.

Yes! Any metal can be powder coating. Most material can be powder coated, including metal, glass, plastic, wood, etc. Thanks for watching!

@@cooltoolsvideos Excellent 👌 Thank you so much 🙏

Yes, the piece is fired, the patina is applied and then the stone is set. Thanks for watching!

Hello! This is a clay dehydrator. You can find it here: cooltools.us/products/clay-dehydrator-excalibur-2399

😊😅

Yes, there are some fine silver clays that can be torch fired. We would recommend Phoenix Torch Fireable Clay: cooltools.us/collections/phoenix-torch-fireable-clay%E2%84%A2 Hope this helps!

Hi Carol, we tested this for you to find out what would be needed for the Beehive. You'll want to set it at 5 minutes with the controller set to 8 in order to set our 24K Gold Painting Powder. :)

@@cooltoolsvideos Thank you so much! I really appreciate you checking this out for me! Best, Cool

Hello, this is activated carbon. You can find it here: cooltools.us/search?type=product&q=%22carbon+firing+media%22

Make your own oil mixture with mineral oil, a few drops of clove oil and a few drops of oil of turpentine. Walnut oil also works well. Store this in a small dropper bottle when you have found the right oil combination. Experiment with different oils for a more open oil...which is slower drying. Keep your work and paint covered and super clean or you will have fine specks all over your work.

Absolutely!

Do you have a tutorial or can I send you my email address so you can explain it to me. I did a class at the gem show with art clay and the bail fail off and I would like to add a different type of bail

@@cindiesue1 We do not have a tutorial. You can either solder the bail on or attach it using metal clay paste and fire the piece again. Hope this helps!
