  • How To Use Buffing Wheels & Polishing Compounds with a Benchtop Polisher Use Vigor® White Tripoli with a yellow muslin Chemkote buffing wheel to remove larger scratches from gold, silver, brass, copper and other metal jewelry. Follow up with a final polish using a soft combed muslin or Finex wheel with either Zam (#69-187) for silver, nickel, and stainless steel, or red rouge (#69-186) for gold, GF, brass and copper. Don't mix the polishing compounds. Dedicate one wheel to each polishing compound. If you use a variety of metals, you might leave the Tripoli buffing wheel on the left side, and then trade out the red rouge and Zam wheels on the right as necessary. Entanglement Warning: Keep hair, loose clothing, dangling jewelry, and beards away from the rotating parts of motorized polishing tools! If you find yourself doing a lot of grinding, buffing, polishing, soldering, pickling, etc., consider adding a ventilation system to pull dust, fumes and small particles away from you. Many pre-made systems exist for workshops, or you can create your own from flexible ductwork intakes directly over your work areas, and exhaust fan(s) that fit your workspace and needs.

  • EURO TOOL is known for producing innovative and quality jewelry making tools and supplies. With this specialty crimping tool, you don't need as much pressure on the crimp beads as you may have used with other pliers. Too much pressure can damage the tips of crimping pliers, and may cause the crimp to cut through beading cable. Pliers eventually wear out and may break. Rings & Things backs these crimp pliers with a six month warranty. When handled without excessive pressure, they last much longer. To use crimp pliers, string desired pattern, add crimp bead and finishing finding (jump ring, split ring, bullion or wire protector), then use the crimper section (1) of the crimp pliers to secure the stringing cable. (Best results are achieved when the two cable pieces are positioned on either side of the center dimple.) Use the rounder section (2) for final shaping. This gives you a compact, rounded crimp bead, which (if desired) can be hidden inside large-hole bead, a crimp cover, or even a fold-over bead tip.

  • For stamps that aren't pre-labeled (or the label wears off with use), place a dot with Wite-Out® or colorful fingernail polish to indicate the bottom of each letter (or symbol) to help keep your letters directionally correct when stamping. For the stamps that are pre-marked with the letter or symbol, marking should generally face toward the user when stamping. If you have a set that's different, you may want to put a dot facing you, to keep all your stamps consistent.

  • Tips: For best results, apply GlazOn using a soft, dense foam aplicator.When using as a layer protectant: Apply a StazOn color and allow to dry, then apply a thin layer of GlazOn and allow to dry, followed by more StazOn colors and GlazOn to separate them.. Apply GlazOn between each successive coat of StazOn to ensure colors do not become muddy.For collage: Apply GlazOn to the project, then add the inclusion: glitters, fibers, micro beads, etc. GlazOn may also be used as a sealant on the finished collage.GlazOn only needs to be applied in thin layers. Add a small amount of GlazOn to the applicator, then spread the GlazOn evenly across your project before allowing to dry.GlazOn air dries quickly, but a heat gun can be used to speed up drying time. If heat-setting your projects, remember that you are also heating your project’s surface -- metal and glass become hot when heated, acrylic can warp, etc.Always put the cap on your bottle of GlazOn when not in use.

  • Using a steel hammer on steel stamps, can damage (or even shatter!) your metal stamps, and is likely to bounce and give you the dreaded double impression. This is why we recommend always using brass hammers to hit steel stamps. Brass is a softer metal than steel, so don't worry when your brass hammer head gets dented (this is normal).

  • Polymer Clay Basics Polymer clays are man made modeling materials that, once heat cured, become permanent and will not return to their original state. All are composed of the same basic components: plasticizers, resins, fillers and colorants. Before using polymer clay it must be conditioned... kneading by hand until the clay is soft and pliable or fold and roll through a pasta machine. Inadequate conditioning will result in weakened finished items and weakened piece to piece adhesion. Condition light colors first, then move to darker colors. Polymer clay pieces can be cured in a standard oven (convection) or toaster oven. Do not microwave polymer clay. If you don't have a dedicated oven, place items in an aluminum pan, then cover tightly with foil to prevent residue build up in your oven. Cure pieces in a well-ventilated area. Check oven accuracy with a thermometer and use a timer to avoid exceeding curing time. The recommended curing temperature is 300° F (150° C). Kato Polyclay™ can be cured at 275° F (135° C) with good results and has been approved to cure at 350° F by our toxicologist, however caution should be taken when curing at that temperature, time should be limited to 10 minutes as you will run the risk of discoloration. You should never exceed 365° F. Materials that will withstand clay curing temperatures, such as glass, paper mache, wood, metal and ceramic items may be covered with clay and baked in the oven. Items may be nested in polyester batting to avoid flat, shiny spots. Finished pieces may be painted or glazed after curing. Water-based paints and glazes are recommended. Cured clay may also be wet sanded (automotive sandpaper - 400 and 600 grit, in water) and then buffed to a high-gloss sheen. Working Properties of Kato PolyClay™ 1. Conditioning - Kato Polyclay™ is easy to condition, with no crumbling. I slice the blocks into 1/8" thick pieces. Roll through the pasta machine at the thickest setting. Finish by folding and rolling. 2. Handling - with continuous kneading and working, Kato Polyclay™ does not become sticky and, therefore, maintains its ease of workability. 3. Strength - Kato Polyclay™ was deemed as strong or stronger than other clays the testers used, - most feeling it was stronger. Not one single respondent found it to be less strong. Additionally, every color shares the same strength. 4. Color stability - From uncured to cured state, no Kato Polyclay™ color shifts more than 1/2 shade, with the majority remaining unchanged from uncured to cured state. It is virtually "true- color". 5. Consistency - Colors share the same consistency and softness. For example, you won't find white very hard and green very soft. Even consistency promotes even cane reduction, which results in less distorted imagery and less waste at cane ends. 6. Color Mixing - Rather than taking an academic approach (this requires that the user have a rather extensive knowledge of color mixing) we have opted for a more user friendly and intuitive method. The Spectral Colors form the basis for the creation of all colors. If they were placed on the color wheel, you would find them very evenly spaced. This approach makes color mixing simple for even the most inexperienced user. 7. Colors - Colors have been formulated for maximum purity and brilliance. 8. Finish - Once cured, Kato Polyclay™ exhibits a satin sheen. 9. Density - As part of the manufacturing process, Kato Polyclay™ is vacuum extruded (we are the only company utilizing this state of the art process). In essence, air from the clay is removed, making the clay denser and eliminating the need for continuous folding and rolling to remove air pockets from the clay. 10. Warm repositioning - Kato Polyclay™ is not as fragile as other brands when warm. Kato Polyclay™ allows for a measure of repositioning of elements when warm - the clay maintains its new position without breaking.

In essence, air from the clay is removed, making the clay denser and eliminating the need for continuous folding and rolling to remove air pockets from the clay. 10. Warm repositioning - Kato Polyclay™ is not as fragile as other brands when warm. Kato Polyclay™ allows for a measure of repositioning of elements when warm - the clay maintains its new position without breaking.

  • Silver and gold jewelry is assembled using hard solders and a torch. Hard solders are alloys of silver or gold that melt at lower temperatures than the sterling or gold karat alloys being used to make the piece of jewelry. Rings & Things carries silver solders. Confusion sometimes arises because the lowest-temperature hard solder is sometimes called "soft" silver solder. (We prefer the term "easy flow" for this lowest temperature hard solder.) Hard solder comes in a number of grades. We carry three: "easy," "medium," and "hard."Hard silver solder melts at around 1365°Fmedium at around 1275°Feasy at around 1240°F.Using these various grades, you can build a complex piece of jewelry starting with hard grade solder, then working down through the temperature ranges. This way the solder holding the first elements will not flow or move when the next pieces are added to the assembly using the lower-melting point solders. To use the hard solders we carry, you also need flux and pickling solution, available separately.FYI: the correct spelling is SOLDER, even though in most of the U.S., we pronounce it "sodder." For mending costume jewelry, see soft solder. See Related Products links (below) for similar items and additional jewelry-making supplies that are often used with this item.

  • Enameling Tips:Enamel is durable, but not totally infallible. Handle finished pieces with care.Do all metal shaping, stamping, punching, etc. before adding enamels.Thoroughly clean your metal before enameling. Penny Brite works great!Before sifting enamel onto the piece, spray on a light coat of Klyr-Fire to help enamel stay in place with an even coating.To paint instead of sift, mix with Klyr Fire or approximately 40% water (to get desired consistency) and paint with a small sable paintbrush. You may want to fire a layer of Opaque White Undercoat first.Sift or paint enamel in desired pattern, carefully transfer to your firing station, and fire!If torch firing, watch closely: when the enamel begins to melt, you'll see a glossy "orange peel" stage where the enamel beads up before slumping to a smooth enameled sheen. Fire a bit more, but don't overheat - some colors will scorch.Allow to slowly cool. A warmed pan (or small crockpot) of vermiculite works great.Clean as necessary - Penny Brite or a brief pickle, maybe a little underwater grinding with an alundum stone.Keep all your leftover / spilled enamel powder. If the colors get mixed, save them in a separate bin for use as a counter (back side) enamel. Place a creased paper on your sifting worksurface, so you can easily dump excess enamel back in the container or a mixed jar.Enameling Safety:Eye protection and a fine-particulate mask are recommended when working with enamels.Wash hands thoroughly when done, and avoid rubbing your eyes.If working regularly with enamels, we suggest protective gloves to prevent irritation from small glass particles.When torch-firing:Prepare a fireproof work area, and remove clutter.A fire extinguisher nearby and good ventilation are important.Consider wearing an apron, closed-toe shoes and natural fiber clothing, and avoiding loose hair, flowy clothing and dangling jewelry.Keep food, drinks, pets and small children away from your enamel and/or firing workspace.Metal Compatibility & Color:Copper "paint chip" in image shows how this enamel looks on copper. Opaque colors are on their own. Translucent and opalescent colors have Foundation White on the bottom portion, and then a layer of translucent or opalescent color over the Foundation White and part-way up the bare copper. The color number was stamped on each strip of copper before enameling.The firing temperature range for our enamels is 1,400°-1,500°F (760°-815°C), and they have a coefficient of expansion (COE) from 258 to 360, cubic expansion. Metals that work with these enamels must have a higher melting point, and a similar COE. Otherwise your metal may melt before your enamel, or the enamel may pop off when your jewelry is exposed to temperature changes.Specifically, these enamels work with copper, gold, low-carbon steel and fine silver. This includes fired copper clay and fine-silver clay. (And some alloys of brass work -- we've had good luck with Vintaj brass blanks and our 24g brass blanks, especially with the higher COE colors, but color results have been unpredictable with brass -- they often require a 2nd layer and 2nd firing to get the color you were aiming for.)Specific COE for most colors is listed in the "Additional specs" field on this page.
