Product Tips

Preparation

Some gold settling may occur at bottom of the jar. Stir the paste well with a skewer or metal spatula before use.

• Clean the surface of the porcelain, glass or ceramic with alcohol, or soap and water to remove dust or oil which may interfere with the Gold Paste sticking to the surface.
• Prepare a paintbrush specifically for use of the Gold Paint. You can apply the undiluted paste, or dilute the Gold Paste with water or medium to the consistency needed in order to paint.
• Area must have a matte surface. If polished, re-fire the silver piece in a kiln for 5 minutes at 1436ºF / 780ºC, if the piece is made only with Art Clay Silver. Option: can be torch fired until the piece returns to the matte state.
• If the silver piece has other materials such as glass or porcelain, re-fire it for 30 minutes at 1292ºF / 700ºC. Allow to cool.
• Surface must be clean. If piece has been handled after firing, clean with alcohol to remove oils or dirt which may prevent adhesion of gold to surface.

Application

The color of the Gold Paste will lighten when fired onto Art Clay Silver as the gold and silver together becomes an alloy. The longer and hotter they are fired together, the lighter the gold result. Following the firing instructions is critical. If Gold Paste on Art Clay Silver is placed into a cold kiln and allowed to fire, the gold will be very light. Air dry completely before firing. (at least 15 minutes).
