Firing Media - Coconut Shell Carbon - Bronze Finish

Coconut-based activated carbon firing media for firing bronze, copper, brass and all other types of metal clays. This carbon will produce a clean, satin finish. Finish is fairly durable. Can also be polished to a high shine or desired finish. 

This carbon can also be used to protect stones when firing any type of metal clay. 

To prepare the carbon for use, place it inside the container, cover with the lid and fire for 30 minutes at 1,550°F.

Coconut shell activated carbon is a totally natural, environmentally friendly product, that has a very small carbon foot print, since it is derived from coconut shells.
