Great video! I am just starting out with bronze clay and love all the tips. My question is while you are drying the cuff on the mandrel, how do you get the ends to wrap around the mandrel so that they are not just hanging?

Great vid. How was this ring fired? On an open shelf? AH? Vermiculite? Thanks!

So what exactly is powder coating? It's not enamel, correct? Does it have to be fired in a toaster oven or can you use a kiln? Thank you!

What do ypu do with all the dried clay cut offs? Can you add water and return to the wet clay?

Karen you talk to fast. Hard to get the instructions. Thanks for sharing. 😊

That is so fun. I can’t wait to do this ❤

You’re better not to upload that many videos simultaneously, it is annoying

Unsubscribed for clogging up my feed with this crap. Congratulations

Hello nice channel Please tell me how good is the foredoom portable micro motor Doing some engraving and want to take places where no power is available Is good for engraving rings?

I absolutely love all the CoolTools videos. The only thing I think would make them even better is to be more consistent with stating at the beginning of the video how much clay is being used. Otherwise, love,love,love!

... as I'm pushing this farther ...

They are overpriced but they work

Where do you get the faux bone?

Hi, what oil can I use? Will olive oil or linseed oil work? Or maybe over coat overglaze?

THANK YOU for such a good video...I had NO idea things had come along this far....much appreciated. You're a doll.

Hi Karen, question. Does cooltools clear powder coat work on clad metal? Thanks

Great video, as always! What beautiful cuff bracelets! I've never used Aureus Bright Bronze, but now I can't wait. 🙂 Question: Is the coconut shell carbon "bronze finish" (Cool Tools KLN 953) ok to use for this process?

Love ya Karen and all the wonderful videos you share. I will try this project next. QQ can you fire Art Clay and Phoenix clay together? And if so at what temp? Thanks again!

I love the set I have and plan to get the rest soon. I use them on my laser projects and in my fine furniture woodworking

I ordered after watching this video! SO excited to try this on my bronze rings! Could you use Isopropyl Alcohol to clean? Is there a reason why not?

Why does this technique use glycerin rather than Klyr fire? Thank you!

I have just spent 45 minutes trying to make this Round-Domed Finishing Touches mold work. NOTHING! The clay will NOT stay in the mold. I have washed the mold, I have made the clay more moist. I have dried the clay more, tried 4 different scraping tools and a dozen angles...NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING works. The clay just rolls off the mold.😢

Great video...I will try to make one of these !

Hi Matt, I cut the end of the hoses and converted them to insert in the adjustable regulator with gauges cuz didn’t find this gauge that have female end that fit to the male hose end, but the Oxygen end leaking, while the butane hose’s connected to cooking cylinder successfully. Could you direct me where to buy this kind of regulator with gauge for the oxygen? Thanks 🌷

Wonderful informative video. I like how Karen explains her testing of the product. I too would think 50/50 would mean what she thought during her testing. ha!

Thank you Cool Tools! Excellent introduction to using powder coatings! I will continue to learn from other videos you post on working with this product. I love that when I read through the comments , someone from Cool Tools responds and answers the questions. SO helpful!

Hi Jennifer, I have a porcelain pendant and wondered if it’s possible to attach it to a silver clay ring? Would the paste act as the “glue” to attach the porcelain pendant to the ring? Thank you and looking forward to your answer

shooooooow!

I’ll be completely honest, the fact that the valves and the cans are the opposite colors is very confusing and I could see where it could cause a lot of issues.

When you refer to Mica powders are you referring to something like PearlX mica powders? If so, is there a video on how to use them to paint fine silver?

Lovely colors! I am not sure I understand how you achieve that texture using that stencil. Were you starting off with metal sheet or metal clay?

Those are incredible!! Can you use just a regular oven? The one I also bake in? Or is the powder coating toxic?

Thank you! I have been struggling and now I know why - the colours do not match. How counter intuitive.

That looks so easy! Thanks for the great video!

Pro welding tip: Don't ever use a butane lighter to light torches (or keep one in your pocket). They make a nasty bomb if a spark or slag hits them and melts thru. Always use a sparker. You will only make that mistake once.

Absolutely beautiful ❤️

Can you powder coat any metal or object?

Great job in explaining!!

Before you place the stone did you firing the piece into the kiln and apply the patina? 😊

How is call the little oven where you place the clay to drying? Thanks😊

🎉❤

Is it possible to use a torch in some way rather than a kiln for this?

Hello, I just purchased the gold painting powder from Cool Tools. I have a Beehive Kiln at home and fire most silver clay pieces on it. Can I put the gold painted piece in the Beehive Kiln instead of hand firing it? If so, which number dial do I set the temperature at and how long do I leave it on? Thank you for your help.

Hi, where I can buy that carbon? It’s normal carbon?

❤

Beautiful. Thanks Cindy.

I'm amazed!! Is this a specific acrylic medium for enamelling or can I use any acrylic medium? I have Golden brand acrylic media. I don't have a kiln so I'd be firing it. Thanks.

Could you not use a Q-tip for mixing and applying?

I didn't had the squeegee oil available nearby can you suggest any other alternatives ?? cause i tried lavender oil but it dries too fast and tried sandlewood oil as well but than the colour changes

How many times will she say "um". I stopped counting at 60 times. good video otherwise.
