NO KILN- NO WORRIES!
Wet Silver Metal Clay - fresh from the package - is amazing. Before it dries it can be shaped or formed in any way you want. As soon as it dries it is rigid and can be carved, filed, drilled and sanded. At this stage it is fragile and care should be taken although breakages are easily repaired. To fire a piece of Metal Clay, you must have a heat source that can reach the sintering temperature of silver. Sintering means heating and fusing but not melting the metal. The metal powder does not melt but becomes compact and hard and retains all of the detail that was present prior to firing. Silver Metal Clay can be fired in a traditional jewellery kiln as well as by gas torch or on a gas stove top. Silver Metal Clay shrinks slightly (up to 12% - Art Clay 650 Series - up to 15% PMC3) when fired and this must be factored into your design. Silver Metal Clay - both Art Clay and PMC - offer Gold metal-clay products as well but the temperature and firing times required for Metal Clay Gold make it necessary to have a kiln. The new Metal Clays - BRONZclay and COPPRclay need to be fired embedded in activated carbon using a kiln with temperature controls. ART CLAY SILVER and PMC come in many forms, including Clay/Lump, Paste/Slip, Syringe, and Paper/Sheet Types. It is also possible to combine certain Metal Clay products with Ceramics and Glass.
