AGS™ - Accent Gold for Silver™

About This Product
This product consists of one gram of pure 24 K gold powder dispersed in a non-toxic water based medium. It is used to apply gold accents to fine silver jewelry articles, including those prepared from silver clay. AGS™ is applied with a brush to an already-fired silver piece, followed by drying and then heating the piece to bond the gold powder to the silver. After cooling, the gold layer is burnished and the final finish is applied.

Note: AGS™ is shipped dry with a small bottle of media, you mix to the consistency you like, and can be applied by daubing as well as brushing. Thin the paint with a drop of water if needed, but do not thin it too much or you will not be able to apply it in a sufficiently thick layer. Mix the paint with a straightened paper clip or a sewing needle (to minimize adherence and waste).

How to Use Accent Gold for Silver™
Method 1 - Firing AGS™ in a Kiln or Furnace
If AGS™ is to be used on an item made from silver clay, fire the item first per the manufacturer's instructions and allow it to cool. Do not burnish the fired silver piece before applying AGS™, so that the surface remains rough to promote good adhesion. Be sure the area to receive AGS™ remains clean and is not contaminated with oils or dirt. If it is, briefly re-fire it. Then apply AGS™ by using a small clean artist's brush being careful not to get it on unwanted areas. Be sure the brush is new or has been used only for AGS™. AGS™ can be used successfully by applying either one thick layer, or by building up several thin layers.

Gold PMC Clay 10 gram 22 K 11% shrinkage

GOLD-Using PMC Gold
This 22 karat material is an alloy of 91.7% gold and 8.3% silver, refined into microscopic particles that fuse at relatively low temperatures. This unique combination provides rich yellow color and unusual strength. PMC Gold can be used alone, or as a decorative element on silver items. Consider these possibilities: Co-fire silver and gold PMC side by side Layer silver and gold to make precious metal woodgrain patterns Solder or fuse PMC Gold elements to fabricated and cast items As with silver PMC, you can rehydrate with clean water, and make your own slip from sanding dust. Because Gold PMC has the working properties of PMC3, we suggest that newcomers test ideas in that material.
Working with PMC Gold
Artists who have used other versions of PMC before will find that the gold is slightly denser. This will make it feel a little stiffer, and explains why it will take longer for water to penetrate. Before using, knead the material while it is still in its plastic wrapping to loosen the structure. Add small amounts of water to compensate for drying during working, but be conservative. Seal unused material to retain moisture. Use wood, plastic, rubber, and steel tools. Finishing is done just like any precious metal, including abrasives, tumbling, hand burnishing, and polishing compounds. PMC Gold can be soldered with any gold solder below 22 karat.
Firing PMC Gold
As with other metal clays, allow the work to dry, preferably overnight. Drying may be hastened with moderate heat. The recommended firing apparatus is a programmable electric kiln, which provides dependable control. Schedule A: 900º C (1650º F) at least 10 minutes Schedule B: 850º C (1560º F) at least 30 minutes Schedule C: 750º C (1380º F) at least 60 minutes Schedule D: 700º C (1290º F) at least 90 minutes

Purple Gold is an 18 K Compound of Gold
Click here for More Info

Purple gold is an 18K compound of gold with other metals. Price is per gram. Its color is natural and not the result of any type of coloration, such as dyeing or application of a coating. Purple gold is finding increasing applications in silver clay jewelry as artists explore how to use it to accent their designs. This very unusual material will challenge your artistic imagination and provide you with a distinctive medium with which to set your silver clay jewelry apart from the norm. It can be applied either with organic resins or by embedding it in silver clay pastes that fire at lower temperatures. 1 gram

Aura 22-A New Idea in Gold Embellishment


Concept
Tiny particles of pure gold (91.6%) are blended with 8.4% fine silver particles to create a precious metal with deep yellow color and the ability to fuse to silver at relatively low temperatures. The result is a layer of gold that is considerably thicker than possible with electroplating.
Uses
Aura 22 is ideally suited to work with all versions of PMC and metal clay. It can also be used on wrought fine silver and, with care, on sterling that has been properly prepared (see be low). Unlike electroplating, Aura 22 requires no special equipment. Because it can be painted on, Aura 22 offers gestural responses unlike any other gold layering process. It is especially recommended for heavily textured surfaces, and for embellishing areas that would be difficult to cover with alternative techniques. Aura 22 involves almost no waste and a relatively small investment. A one gram package can usually embellish 20-30 objects.

Applying
The proper consistency of the material is a creamy paste that spreads like nail polish. Each package comes with a bottle of Media, which can be used to refresh the Aura22 if it dries. Add a drop or two, allow to sit for a few minutes, then stir. Use a scribe, a large sewing needle, or similar smooth tools-extra Aura22 can be easily wiped off and returned to the container.
The surface of the metal should be cean and dry. No other special preparation is necessary. Apply an even layer of Aura 22 with a scribe, paintbrush, or rubber tipped tool. Uneven thickness will show up as different shades of gold. Two layers are usually sufficient, but three layers will guarantee a rich, pure gold color. Allow the Aura 22 to dry, completely between layers, usually 20-30 minutes. Do not force the drying (for instance with a hair dryer) be cause this hardens the outer surface and traps moisture inside. There is no ...
