Firing Media - Alumina Hydrate - 4 oz

Alumina Hydrate

Alumina hydrate is a very nice media for supporting silver clay objects as they fire. It is made from aluminum sulfate and sodium carbonate. Alumina hydrate has a fine granular or powdered texture which some prefer over the coarser texture of vermiculite.

 
Dust your kiln shelf with a small amount of this easy to use product. This will eliminate surface tension and allow the clay to move as it shrinks. Without alumina hydrate, clay can stick to the kiln shelf.

The recommend firing for EZ960® Sterling Silver is to fire on a raised ceramic kiln shelf, dusted with alumina hydrate.

Made in the USA

Please note: This product can create dust. It is advised to wear a dust mask when working with Alumina Hydrate.
