Art Clay Gold Paste, add 22K accents on fine silver, glass, and porcelain.

The AGS bottle contains 1.5gm of pure gold powder dispersed in a non-toxic water-based binder. It can be fired on a gas hob, a kiln (or if you're confident with a gas torch this can also be used).

You apply the gold paste to an already-fired silver piece. Dry, and fire again to sinter the gold and bond it to the silver.

It is extremely easy to use, and you'll have no need to worry about hot plates, or burnishing the hot metal. 

This magical little paste gives you 100% recycled conflict free 22ct gold (the pot contains 77.5% 24ct gold mixed with water and binder, giving an applied 22ct accent).

How to use:
Apply the undiluted Gold Paste on a fired unfinished Art Clay Silver surface in a thin layer. The unfinished matte surface of silver clay after firing is perfect for applying gold paste, as it will help it bond. If you have already polished your silver you can refire the silver piece in a kiln for 30 minutes at 700C/1292F to burn off any dirt and give you a matte surface, and then apply Gold Paste. 

If you use undiluted paste on a glass or thick glazed porcelain surface, the painted area may sink due to the gold weight. It is recommended to use a little of the medium that comes with the paste to dilute it when used on glass or porcelain. The Art Clay Gold Paste has been tested with COE90 glass, if you use glass with a different COE, please test fire first.

Finishing
The surface of the Gold Paint will be matte due to crystallisation, so it needs polishing after firing - we think the best result is reached with an agate burnisher.

Note - the paste may arrive slightly dried out, and will dry out as it sits between uses. Just add a drop or two of water to turn into paste again. Always stir well before use.
