Cool Tools - EZ960® Sterling Silver Clay - 25 gram

Ready to use directly from the package, the 1st thing you will notice is its smooth, creamy consistency. The clay takes texture with excellent clarity. It does not distort or stretch when removed from a mold, nor is it prone to tearing. It is easy to roll and form, and is surprisingly non-sticky. It also has a high moisture content, making it easy to work with in its wet form, as it stays workable and pliable without drying and cracking when forming, texturizing or molding. For best long term storage and to maintain hydration and workability, store unused EZ960 in a clay hydrator charged with distilled water. In its dried, greenware stage, EZ960 is easy to sand, file and carve. Dried pieces are quite flexible, less delicate and less fragile. This is a plus when fitting parts and pieces or when handling, assembling or manipulating your greenware. Making paste for assembly of pieces and parts is easy… simply add a few drops of distilled water to a small amount of clay to create your desired consistency. If necessary, EZ960 drills easily in its greenware state, and is not prone to cracking, chipping or other issues. While torch firing is technically feasible, it is not recommended. After ensuring the clay is bone-dry, fire on a open shelf raised above the kiln floor at full ramp speed at any of these times and temperatures: 1675°F / 913°C - 2 hours 1700°F / 927°C - 1 hour 1725°F / 941°C - 15 minutes For low temperature kilns: 1650°F / 899°C - 4 hours 1625°F /885°C - 4 hours 1600°F / 871°C - 8 hours
