Art Clay Silver (Clay Type 999)
純銀黏土 (黏土狀 999)

This type can be modeled in the same way as regular water-based clay. Once opened, it is susceptible to the air and must be kept moist in order to retain its pliability and workability.

Use a container of water and a paintbrush to moisten any areas of the clay surface that begin to crack while working.

Art Clay Silver becomes 99.9% pure silver after firing.

銀飾創作最常使用的純銀黏土，使用者可如小時玩黏土、陶土一樣任意塑型，改變它的形狀，也可用很簡易的方式如：擀平、揉壓、切剪等，或是自己創造出想要的圖樣，非常大的延展性與創造性，不定時的使用水筆或筆刷沾水，才能保持表面溼潤不裂，在快速乾燥後，即可使用銼刀、砂紙等工具來進一步做研磨、雕刻等細部動作。

純銀黏土在燒成後是成為99.9%的千足銀喔！

Art Clay Silver (Paste Type)
純銀黏土(膏狀)

The only difference between Paste type and Clay type is the amount of water portion in the mixture.
Paste type comes in the consistency of melted ice cream and you should only transfer the amount needed from the jar to a small tray and dilute with water to create the desired thickness.

It is used in several ways:
‧As a glue to join two pieces of dry or wet clay together.
‧As a gap-filler for pits and cracks that appear in dried pieces.
‧To attach silver findings (screw eyes, bailbacks, brooch findings, etc.) to dried or wet clay pieces. During firing, the normal contraction of the clay bonds the findings.
‧When applied in separate layers onto organic forms such as leaves, dried flowers, paper-origami, etc, Paste type creates a perfect impression of the form.

膏狀是水份較多的銀黏土，十分濃稠，因此具有修補、填補和描繪的功能，因需求調整濃稠度後，可用筆刷直接塗至明顯紋路的物件上，如：天然葉子、羽毛、乾燥花、摺紙上，利用不斷堆疊與乾燥的作法，在燒成後即可取得原紋路物件上的純銀拓印！

Art Clay Silver (Syringe Type)
純銀黏土(針筒狀)

Art Clay Silver Syringe type is 5gm and 10gm of Art Clay Silver in a pre-loaded syringe. Syringe type comes packaged in three ways: with color-coded tips (blue, green and gray), each an increasingly larger diameter; a one tip (green nozzle) package; and packaged without any tips.

Each of the tips is reusable and only needs to be purchased once. The diameter of each syringe nozzle is; Blue Nozzle: 0.41mm, Green Nozzle: 0.84mm, and Gray Nozzle: 1.19mm.

The consistency of Syringe type is totally different from that of Paste type and it is not to be thought of as just paste in a syringe. Syringe type is thicker, more controllable and allows more workability.

It is used in several ways:
‧To decorate pieces, much like using cake decorating tips. Lines, filigree, faux cloisonné borders, and even hollow balls can be made with Syringe type.
‧As a repair “glue” to fill cracks and gaps.
‧To attach findings to wet or dry clay pieces.

較濕軟的純銀黏土裝在針筒中，使用時搭配不一樣口徑的針筒頭，推擠出不同粗細的純銀黏土線條，可在塊狀黏土作品上做裝飾圖案，或者單獨使用在鏤空或中空細緻作品上，配合水筆(水彩筆)來讓創造特別的作品。使用針筒型純銀黏土需要數次的練習，新手較不易上手。

Art Clay Silver (Clay Type 925)
純銀黏土(黏土狀 925)

The new choice for Professionals! High strength, high hardness silver alloy metal clay is here! Art Clay Silver 950 comes in a pre-mixed clay form enclosed in a jet-black package. This is a newly designed clay that combines hardness with strength.

‧More Strength:
Surface hardness, and bending strength of Art Clay Silver 950 is approx. 60% stronger than regular Art Clay Silver. Results may vary depending on firing and measuring conditions. Because of its high strength, it allows for more design options and durability especially for works that are thinner, narrower, open ended (ring and cuff) and delicate, etc. The finished silver surface is more resistant to scratches. This makes it a more suitable product for professional artists who gift or sell their works. It also has a unique silver color.
‧Pre-mixed Clay form:
Molding and drying process is exactly the same as with the current Art Clay Silver Clay Type. The clay comes in AIDA’s high quality, ready to use pre-mixed clay form, so you can start working right after unsealing the package.
‧Clay components ratio, Shrinkage and Purity after firing:
90% of the clay is Silver and copper alloy powder, and 10% is binder and water. It shrinks a little more than regular Art Clay Silver series. Purity after firing is Silver 950. Shrinkage after firing: Approx. 11-13%.

Art Clay Silver Oil Paste
純銀黏土油性黏土膏

Art Clay Silver Oil Paste is an oil-based paste and it is formulated to act as a bond between fired silver pieces. Oil Paste provides a solid weld between pure silver findings, or between two fired pieces. It comes in two separately sealed jars. One has 10gm of very thick paste, the other contains a thinner that is used to keep the paste at working consistency. Both jars must be kept tightly capped. Silver findings also can be attached to the piece with Oil Paste, and then re-fired for adhesion. Fires at 800℃ / 1472˚F for 30 minutes or 850℃ / 1562˚F for 10 minutes.

Overlay Silver Paste
白磁專用膏狀黏土

This Art Clay product is specifically formulated to bond to non-porous or glazed surfaces such as ceramic, porcelain, and glass. Overlay Silver Paste can be used in a variety of ways:

Paint directly, full strength, onto bisque, glazed porcelain or glass pieces.
Used in a technique called sgraffito, whereby a thin layer of Overlay paste is applied to the glazed porcelain or glass, allowed to dry, and then a pointed tool is used to scratch a design into the layer so that the porcelain or glass beneath appears, giving a stenciled look. This product is fired at 650℃ / 1202˚F for 30 minutes.
