Firing
Firing with the handheld torch
The instructions do not contain any information about firing the clay with a handheld torch. We tried it and it worked without any problem. Like all other clays, we recommend a piece of maximum the size of a 2-euro-piece.
Firing in the kiln
The instructions make a difference between minimal, recommended and optimal firing in an electric kiln.
Minimal
750° C for 5 minutes, shrinkage 11-12%
Recommended
820-830° C for 30 minutes, shrinkage 15%
Optimal (our recommendation)
900° C for 2 hours, shrinkage 16%
The final piece is made of fine silver (999/1000 silver).
