Can you add water to make Art Clay Silver Paste?

[sickwarne]

Hello friends,
I only have Art Clay Silver 650 Low-Fire, Slow-Dry. If I wanted to attach two pieces together, could I just take a piece of clay and add water until it was of a pasty consistency? Or would that not work in a similar manner?
Thanks!

Hi,

The recommended way to attach two pieces together, is to use the Paste type of ACS.

You sure can - a little water and a little clay works great. I also do the same with dried clay bits and make recycled clay paste.
When working on competition or masterwork pieces you may want to use fresh paste type - it is a little smoother and well balanced in terms of the binders, etc -  but for more minor attaching and repairs - making you own paste works fine
