Top Tips

• Shape and manipulate Project X .960 Silver Clay while it’s in its most pliable state; roll it out, create sheets and press it against textures for dynamic effects
• Experiment with various techniques like curling, twisting and joining pieces together; use a damp brush to ensure secure bonds between joints.
• During firing, position your work toward the back of the kiln for uniform heating
• Keep unused clay airtight to prevent drying out and revitalize it with a few drops of water or Project X X2O Rehydration Fluid ()

The composition of the silver clay is 999 silver powder (approx. 86%), copper powder (approx. 4%), water, and binder.

It has a 893°C melting point.

Please note

While your clay may appear dry at first glance, it’s simply a part of its exceptional design! The unique ‘dryness’ of the clay upon opening the package is a result of the vacuum packing process, which compacts the clay.

Unlike other clays, this means that the clay requires conditioning before use, a simple step that ensures your material is primed and ready for use.

Project X metal clay is crafted to transform into a perfectly smooth and workable substance without the need for water. This innovative process is effortless, either roll the clay or knead it with your fingers before proceeding with your creation.

Once you do, watch how this clay effortlessly evolves into a smooth and creamy material.

It is a fundamental principle to knead your clay to awaken elasticity of the binder without adding water to fresh clay, which can lead to unwanted stickiness.

Please consult the instruction sheet for additional details and safety precautions.
