I believe if you use flux, it will stop fire scale. Also, if you take a permanent marker and mark on your silver, and then you’ll the permanent marker disappears and you know that you’re silver and kneeled enough. Also rotate your silver ring in the opposite direction when you hammer with your mallet that way it ensures both sides around it evenly

Geweldig! Super goed idee, mooi resultaat❤

Thank you! 😊

Really nice final result. The pro tip of using some post-it paper to account for shrinking is helpful - the paper simply burns away in the firing process?

[@metalclay-silberladen-at]

Thank you very much for your feedback! Yes, the paper simply burns away. It ensures that the metal clay doesn't crack during firing, as otherwise, too much tension would build up. You should expect a shrinkage of about 8-10% with Art Clay. Best regards!

High what a very detailed video this is :) May I ask what preferred Gauge silver is best to make the core of the ring ? I have some silver sheet and it’s 0.7 thickness . Do you also recommend a certain width to the ring ? ❤

[@metalclay-silberladen-at]

Thank you so much for your feedback! 😊 Essentially, the width and thickness of the inner ring are entirely up to you. We like to use a thickness between 0.5 and 0.8 mm, so your silver sheet should work perfectly! Have fun crafting! ❤

Hi! Thank you for this video! I'd like to ask, why it need so long to burn in the kiln and also what is the purpose of paper strips glued to silver base of the ring? Thank you ❤

[@metalclay-silberladen-at]

Thank you for your feedback! 😊 The long firing time ensures that the piece sinters properly, achieving maximum stability and strength. Metal clay shrinks during firing, and that's where the paper strips come in. They act as a kind of buffer, preventing the metal clay from cracking due to the significant tension that would otherwise build up. ✨
