It doesn't react to metal clay, and, unlike a rubber form it can go from freezer to the hot plate without problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bracelet form is designed for cuff style bracelets and one size fits all (you alter the size to fit you). It is 5cm (2\") wide, so you can make everything from a thin rope bangle to a wide cuff - you could even shape and dry two thin bangles in one go, using only one form! The length of the bracelet (if it was to be flattened out) would measure 15cm (6\").\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eIf your feeling particularly creative, this drying form could also be used as it is as a base for a bracelet - it would need a little refining and smoothing, but you can etch or engrave it, drill it, reshape it, rivet things to it, glue things on it, combine it with leather, polymer clay, resin - your imagination is the limit!\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis is how the manufacturer suggests you use them as a drying form:\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFit the form over your wrist to adjust for size. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWrap a strip of parchment paper, shiny side out, around the form and tape it to make a removable sleeve. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm the bracelet around the sleeve, then use cling film to hold the wet metal clay in place. Simply wrap a thin strip of cling film around the bracelet to hold the ends closed. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe manufacturer then recommends that you dry the article in the refrigerator or freezer overnight (the reason is that the cold helps the clay dry without cracking). \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen dry, remove the plastic wrap, carefully slide the sleeve off the form (bronze and copper clay can be slightly flexible when dry so be gentle!) and peel the freezer paper from the bracelet. The clay that has been in contact with the freezer paper will still be damp so allow the bracelet to dry overnight again, ideally in the freezer or refrigerator. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe form can also be placed directly on a wooden or steel mandrel.
