It's good practice to keep silver clay no thinner than 1mm before firing, so the spacers in this kit will roll it out 0.5mm thicker than the minimum as per the picture here. As you get comfortable and understand the clay better, you will learn about when and how you can work with thinner sheets of clay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"6\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA comparison of our metal clay starter kits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #008080;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetal Clay Starter Kit - Tools \u0026amp;
