FIRING INSTRUCTIONS To fire, place the piece in a cold or slightly warm kiln (below 300ºC). To avoid thermal shock which can crack your ceramic/porcelain, it's best to start with a cold kiln. You also need to leave your piece to cool down inside the closed kiln, until it reaches close to room temp.
Depending on the size of the ceramics, you might want to slow down the ramp speed (how fast your kiln heats). You can use any of the four firing temperatures and hold times listed below - choose the appropriate firing temperature and hold time depending on the material you are combining the paste with.
These timings are as recommended by the manufacturers. As always with fine silver clay and paste, the longer and hotter you can fire, the stronger your silver will be.
Please only fire with a torch if the material you have combined with the Overlay Paste allows you to do so.
