TIPS:
* Fabricate the BRONZclay focal according to the manufacturer's instructions. Like other metal clays, BRONZclay must be fired in a kiln.
* BRONZclay shrinks approximately 20% from package to finished product. When you create your pieces, keep this in mind.
* If you also work with Art Clay™ Silver (ACS), your ACS tools and work surfaces must be kept separate from the tools and surfaces that you use with BRONZclay. The materials do not work well together, and you will get some unwanted results if you use the same tools and work surfaces for both.
