OooooOOOOOooo. No-carbon copper? Sounds intriguing.

Aaaaaand?

Come on don't just leave me hanging there. Go feed the birds and see if you can find out more!

Believe there's a new Screw fitting being launched at the conference too.
I think it will allow you to do things like change elements on rings etc
by just screwing them onto the fine silver embeddable thread

I can't find any info on it but anyone in the know know if it can be torch fired?

Thanks!

It's only being launched this weekend so I guess it will be a while before the info his the net.

more info on copper clay on metal clay academy. fires kiln only 30 min at 970 (and my kiln only goes to 900 )

Silver Clay Lite, is part glass, only 92% silver when fired so is much cheaper. However it is a little more brittle so not suitable for rings. It also feels much lighter to hold apparently.....

Will it not fire at a slightly lower temp for longer?

[EmmaRose]

Not as far as I know.....generally speaking it is the temp not the time that gives the strength....
