960 Silver w/ Art Clay Silver & PMC Sterling Combo Pack

Additional Photos:

"You need to mix equal amounts of clay weight (important to note as PMC packs show silver weight and clay weight, Art Clay is just clay weight). Mixes the same as other 960, fires the same as other 960. Lovely to use and nice and strong. I estimate shrinkage to be around 12-13% from these rings I made (below).

The 960 is definitely much stronger than fine silver clay (but don't ask me by how much!). I made a small plain thin ring band in 960 to start with. I would normally be able to fairly easily distort the circular shape with my fingers in 999. In 960 it takes a lot more effort to make it start to distort. Not scientific in any way, but it showed me there is a worthwhile difference in strength. ;-)"

More Information

960 Silver using Art Clay Silver is made by mixing equal parts of PMC Sterling and Art Clay Silver. Open a 25 gram pack of PMC Sterling (and weigh out 20 grams) and a whole 20 gram pack Art Clay Silver and mix them together. It takes less than 5 minutes. It's really that easy.

Mix it, kneed it, fold it and so forth until it's uniformly colored. No water, or oil is necessary when mixing these clays. Let the mixed clay rest for 1/2 an hour or so. Enclose it in plastic, the way you would with any other metal clay. Mix in the same way that Celie Fago demonstrates in the video found here: http://youtu.be/JnlUT5MVzK0

Joy Funnell believes that 960 Silver (with Art Clay) is almost as strong, handles almost as well, carves almost as well as 925 PMC Sterling but NO CARBON NECESSARY! It fires in air on a kiln shelf like any of the fine silver Art Clay. We've been firing 960 at 1500F for one hour. It has other perks; gold foil, when you keum-boo, goes on more readily than it does on PMC Sterling. However, it doesn’t diffuse into the silver surface as quickly as it does with fine silver.
