The faster way
to fire! FASTfire BRONZclay™ metal clay drastically cuts your firing
time—making it ideal for production work, the classroom, or for those times
when you just want to bring your creations to life a bit quicker. With FASTfire
BRONZclay, you can fire your pieces in 2 hours or less (depending on the
thickness of your piece, the size of your firing pan, and the type of kiln).
Just
like original BRONZclay, FASTfire™ BRONZclay provides an 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! It can be pinched, rolled,
sculpted, 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. Package of 30g of
FASTfire BRONZclay™ metal clay.

copper, 10% tin), water & non-toxic binding materials

please note: FASTfire
BRONZclay™ must be embedded in coconut shell–activated carbon inside a firing
pan with a slotted lid during firing. Carbon, firing pan and lid are sold
separately. Because kilns vary, try a test piece in your kiln according to the
enclosed instructions.
IMPORTANT: We do not recommend firing loose gemstones directly in FASTfire clay
as the stones tend to be damaged during firing.
