RING LINER STRIPS - MAKE YOUR OWN RINGS WITH EASY SIZING AND ADDITIONAL STRENGTH!

These ring liner strips are just perfect for that little short cut whilst making a ring. If you do not want to, or are unable to make your own Art Clay ring band, you can use these instead.

As they are all 999 fine silver, they are fireable and do not shrink during firing, which an Art Clay made ring band would.

Use paste to add your embellishments on, or completely cover the liner with your own design. If you are doing this, we advise you use Art Clay rolled out to a minimum of 0.75mm thick for your first layer, and be careful to not stretch or pull the silver as uyou apply it to the ring liner. If you go too thin on your first layer, you may get cracks as the metal clay shrinks around the liner during firing.

Another option would be to fire your silver clay embellishments first, and then attach them to your ring liner after firing, either by soldering or using Overlay Paste.

Art Clay Overlay Paste or the new formula Art Clay Paste are both great for making sure your silver clay bonds to this fine silver base.

The liner itself measures approximately 6cm long, 4mm width and 1.5mm thick.

To shape the strip, simply bend around your ring mandrel. Use a nylon hammer to gently tap it into shape.
