Hi

I am new to Art Clay and could do with some help!

I fired a piece of Silver Art Clay and afterwards it cracked through the middle, and eventually snapped in two when I was trying to polish off and salvage. Is there anything that can be done with what is now 'scrap' art clay?

Also, what kind of solder to people use to solder a piece of Art Clay to sterling silver? I tried hard, with borax, but it just wouldn't fuse?! What am I doing wrong?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Emma

you can 'stick' the pices together wit oil paste wich Nic put up a recipe for a while back, I used hard solder to solder to sterling with borax flux no prob, but you use more solder on fine silver it soaks it up. hope this helps but am sure someone who's more of an expert will be along soon with advice
