BronzClay 100 grams - Just as precious metal PMC does, new base-metal clay, BronzClay provides a incredible artistic range. And, because it is bronze, it is also so economical that you can use it for large pieces--even sculptures--very affordably!
Like its precious-metal counterparts, BronzClay can be pinched, rolled, sculptured, cut or manipulated any way you like. Then fire it and the binder burns away leaving a solid, pure bronze object. Create jewelry, jewelry components, or custom-crafted specialized tools. You can even practice new techniques or design ideas using BronzClay, then apply your new skills to precious metals.
PLEASE NOTE: BronzClay must be embedded in activated carbon in sealed vessel during firing. Carbon and container are sold separately.

Pour warm water into acid proof pickling tank. Slowly add acid to water stirring continuously until acid dissolves Into solution. To pickle or clean metal, immerse object into acid solution until all surfaces are clean and bright. Heating the pickling bath will increase the speed of pickling, but excessive temperature will cause evaporation of the water. Sediment is due to evaporation and in no way impairs the effectiveness of the solution.  Add water to replace any loss through evaporation.  per EACH
