AGS™ - Accent Gold for Silver™ F or best results it is essential that you fo llo w these instructions carefully! These instructions, dated 2/16/2005, supersede all others.
About This Product This product consists of one gram of pure 24 K gold powder dispersed in a non-toxic water based medium. It is used to apply gold accents to fine silver jewelry articles, including those prepared from silver clay. AGS™ is applied with a brush to an alreadyfired silver piece, followed by drying and then heating the piece to bond the gold powder to the silver. After cooling, the gold layer is burnished and the final finish is applied. Note: AG S™ in the enclosed bottle is prepared as a thick slurry and can be applied by daubing as w ell as brushing. Thin the paint with a drop o f water i f needed, but do not thin it too much or you w ill not be able to apply it in a sufficiently thick layer. M ix the paint with a straightened paper clip or a sewing needle (to minimize adherence). How to Use A ccen t G old f o r Silver™ Method 1 - Firing AGS™ in a Kiln or Furnace If AGS™ is to be used on an item made from silver clay, fire the item first per the manufacturer’s instructions and allow it to cool. Do not burnish the fired silver piece before applying AGS™, so that the surface remains rough to promote good adhesion. Be sure the area to receive AGS™ remains clean and is not contaminated with oils or dirt. If it is, briefly re-fire it. Then apply AGS™ by using a small clean artist’s brush being careful not to get it on unwanted areas. Be sure the brush is new or has been used only for AGS™. AGS™ can be used successfully by applying either one thick layer, or by building up several thin layers. For the latter technique please refer to Step 5 in the following section on Torch Firing. If using a single thick layer, then daubing of the paint is an alternative to brushing for applying the thick layer. In either case, dry the paint as described in Step 4 in the section on Torch Firing. Do not dry the paint too fast or it may not adhere well to the silver after firing. If there is AGS™ on an unwanted area, remove it by scraping with a needle or small knife after it has dried and then return it to the bottle for reuse. Now fire the piece by putting it into a kiln or furnace preheated to 1650F as described in the following paragraph. Exposing the piece to the proper temperature and time is essential to achieve good adherence of AGS™ to the silver. The kiln sh elf must already be in the furnace and at the firin g temperature. Using 18” long tweezers and a glove, simply lay the piece on the preheated kiln shelf, close the kiln door, wait until the temperature returns to 1650F (+/- 20 degrees F) and then continue firing for 7 minutes. (Refer to safety precautions below.) Firing for a slightly longer time will not cause a problem if the AGS™ is sufficiently thick; otherwise, some fading of the gold color may occur due to diffusion of silver into the exposed surface of the gold layer.
You may fire multiple pieces at once although the time required for the kiln to return to 1650F will be longer. After firing for 7 minutes at 1650 +/- 20 degrees F, remove the piece and allow it to cool. If coverage of the gold is not complete or it has been applied too thinly, apply more AGS™ in those areas, dry the piece, and re-fire it. Burnish the gold layer with a polished burnishing tool. A matte finish can then be applied with a wire brush, or a beautiful luster can be achieved by tumbling the piece with stainless steel shot in water. Method 2 - Firing AGS™ with a Torch The following instructions are provided courtesy of Tonya Davidson of Whole Lotta Whimsy, who has used them with repeated success.
1) Fire the piece per the manufacturer’s instructions in a kiln, by torch, or in a hot pot. 2) After cooling, remove the piece being careful being not to touch the areas where the gold will be applied. (Avoid oils from fingers.) 3) Add one or two coats of PMC3 paste, or ArtClay 650 Clay, to the areas where the gold will be applied. The paste should be thick, like custard - do not water it down to a thin consistency. 4) Dry either naturally, with a hair dryer on low setting, or in a dehydrator. Do not use a griddle or hot plate because they dry the paint too quickly. 5) Apply three coats of AGS in thin layers. Two layers will yield a subtle gold application. Dry each coat as described in Step 4. 6) Place the piece on a solderite torch board and dim the lights in the room. 7) Begin torch firing. 8) Once a medium-orange glow is present, continue firing for seven minutes. 9) Cool and burnish as desired. 10) If desired (not necessary), hold the piece with tweezers immediately after removal of the torch and use a Pyrex, agate, or steel burnisher to burnish the gold onto the surface of the piece. This will add a final keum-boo method to the process. Safety Precautions This paint is non-toxic, non-irritating to most people, and generally safe to use. If you experience a skin rash or itchiness after contact, discontinue use. Wash your hands after each use. If AGS™ gets in the eyes, flush them thoroughly with water and see a doctor to ensure that the gold powder and medium are completely removed. To avoid burns when inserting pieces into a kiln and removing them, wear gloves*, safety glasses, and use a long pair of tweezers (18 inch is recommended). Avoid prolonged exposure of eyes to the hot kiln, which in extreme instances can cause cataracts. If you are concerned about the degree of eye exposure, wear #3 welding glasses. *As long as your hand doesn’t get too close to the heated interior of the kiln, most any glove not made of synthetic materials is appropriate such as an oven mitt, leather glove or a specialized heat proof glove. Just keep a watchful eye on the glove to avoid problems. REMEMBER - Safety first! For more information about this and related products, please contact Dr. Ronald Diegle at:

AGS™ - Accent Gold for Silver™ F or best results it is essential that you fo llo w these instructions carefully! These instructions, dated 11/10/2007, supersede all others.
About This Product This package contains two bottles: one contains pure dry 24K gold powder and the other, a non-toxic water base medium. After mixing, the gold paste is used to apply accents to fine silver jewelry articles including those prepared from silver clay. AGS™ is applied to an already-fired silver piece, followed by air drying and then heating to bond the gold powder to the silver. After cooling, the gold layer is burnished and the desired final surface finish is applied. Mixing: Add 8 to 12 drops of medium from the glass bottle to the plastic bottle containing the gold powder and mix thoroughly with a straightened paper clip (provided). The consistency should be that of thick slurry. Thin the AGS™ as necessary, but not too much or you will not be able to apply it in sufficiently thick layers. Note: AGS™ can be applied by daubing as well as brushing. Rehydration: If the AGS™ dries out in the plastic bottle between uses, restore moisture as follows. Add several drops of medium to the dried AGS™ and stir thoroughly for two minutes. Then cap the bottle and let the mixture stand for at least eight hours, and again stir the mixture thoroughly for two minutes. (Thorough rehydration is essential to avoid a grainy texture in the finished gold layer.) At this time the AGS™ is properly rehydrated and ready for use. Keep the bottle tightly capped after adding medium. H o w to Use A ccen t G old for Silver™ Method 1 - Firing AGS™ in a Kiln or Furnace 1) If AGS™ is to be used on an item made from silver clay, fire the item first per the manufacturer’s instructions and allow it to cool. Do not burnish the fired silver piece before applying AGS™ so that the surface remains rough to promote good adhesion. Be sure the area to receive AGS™ remains clean and is not contaminated with oils or fingerprints. If it is, briefly re-fire it. 2) Apply AGS™ with a small clean artist’s brush and be careful not to get it on unwanted areas. Be sure the brush is clean. AGS™ can be applied either in one thick layer, or preferably, by building up several thin layers. 3) If using several thin layers, refer to Step 5 in the following section on Torch Firing (see reverse side). If using a single thick layer, then daubing of the paint is an alternative to brushing. 4) In either case, dry the paint as described in Step 4 in the section onTorch Firing .

Art Clay Silver - General Inform ation Deborah E. Love Jemmott
© 2000
Rev. 1-0 3 , 1-05
Art Clay - Silver is made up of fine silver particles (1 to 20 microns in size), water, and a non-toxic organic binder. Once the piece has been formed and dried, it is fired in a kiln, where the binding agent burns away leaving a fine silver (99.99% silver) piece that is 8-1 0% smaller than the original model. The clay comes in three forms: Clay - pillow, sheet or paper type Syringe Paste - water based or oil based Art Clay - Silver is water based. Its working properties are similar to that of porcelain clay. It is flexible and accepts texture well. It dries very quickly, but can be re-hydrated - even if it dries out completely.
Characteristics of the Art Clay - Silver • The clay is water based. If it becomes stiff while working, use a small spray bottle of purified water with a few drops of glycerin added to spray the clay. Knead the clay with the added water between sheets of plastic wrap to keep it from sticking to hands. • Use oil, Pam spray, Badger Balm, Gardener’s Salve or any non-petroleum based product to keep the clay from sticking to hands and tools. Use MINIMAL amounts, as too much of any of these materials added to the clay will make it not stick together. • Take out only the clay necessary to finish the project. The remaining clay should be wrapped in plastic and stored to keep it from drying out. Keep the wrapped clay in a film canister with a baby-wipe in the bottom and another one on the top. For short-term storage as you are working, place the clay in a plastic sheet folded over itself inside a baby wipe folded over itself. • The clay can be reconstituted even if it becomes completely hard. Grind it into a powder and add water. Wear a dust mask while using the flat side of a diamond cut-off wheel to make the clay into powder. While working on a Teflon baking sheet, lightly spray the clay dust with water. Use a small palate knife to mix the clay and water together. Add as little water as possible. Mix until the clay sticks together and picks up the clay from the baking sheet. • Keep the clay indoors and out of direct sunlight. Do not keep it in the refrigerator. • Do not get clay in mouth or eyes.
• The piece can be added to or reworked - even after firing - and can be refired multiple times.
Working with the Art Clay - Silver Since the clay dries quickly, all tools and supplies should be set out and the area prepared before opening the packet. Tools and Supplies Plastic Sheet * Clay Working Tools* X-acto Knife or Scalpel* Roller* Guides (for thickness) Masking Tape Water (Distilled or R/O) Film Canisters Texture Materials* Plastic Wrap Paint Brushes Straws - a Variety of Sizes Spray Bottle (Water & a few drops of

glycerin)
• Have a design in mind (or at least a direction) before opening the Art Clay packet as the clay dries quickly, making it less pliable. • The clay is sticky. Use a lubricant on your hands and on any tools that come into contact with the clay. The lubricant must be non-petroleum based such as Badger Balm, Pam Cooking Spray, or Gardener’s Salve. Do not use too much as it will damage the working properties of the clay. • When the clay is first opened, it may require a little kneading. Have plastic wrap pieces nearby to wrap the unused portion to keep it from drying out and to wrap around the portion being kneaded. Any clay not in use should be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or it will dry out. • For slab work, use roller guides for an even thickness. Generally, 1-mm thickness is recommended. • Use a damp brush or a light spray of water to prevent cracking when folding the clay, rolling it into coils (snakes), or anytime moisture needs to be added to the clay. A small spray bottle works well for this. • The clay accepts textures well. To create textures:
1. Roll the clay over lace / textured card stock / or other flat textured materials. 2. Use rubber stamps to press into the clay. Use a lubricanton the stamp. Also be aware that many stamps are copyrighted and you must alter them significantly to avoid copyright infringement problems. 3. Create textures with: string / spring on its side / corrugated cardboard on edge / sponge / curler / broken wooden stick on end / crumpled aluminum foil / Styrofoam sheet with design drawn in (press it onto the clay for an embossed design) / fabric / burlap / nylon stocking / lace / etc. 4. Use the syringe to create linear overlay designs. • When making a seam of joining pieces together, use Art Clay Paste or a bit of Art Clay Syringe as a “glue” to fuse the seam together. Paint a little paste on each of the pieces to be joined and then put them together. If a large void needs to be filled, use the syringe to fill the area. • Use fine silver wire for any structural elements or findings. Work the clay around the wire. Fine silver may be fired in place. Sterling Silver may be added to the piece and fired in place if the Art Clay - 650 is used and fired at the lowest temperature. • A small piece of cardstock can be used to form the piece on and then transport it to and from the warming tray more easily. (Playing cards work well). • It is best to finish the piece as much as possible while it is in its “greenware” state (completely dry, but unfired. • Pieces should be completely dry before firing. To check, lift the piece off the warming tray and place it on a piece of metal (a CD tin works very well for this). After a few seconds, move the piece to another place on the CD tin. If there is moisture residue where the piece was originally placed, it is not dry. If there is nothing, it is dry and is ready for clean-up or firing. • After firing, Art Clay - Silver is a solid metal object of fine silver. It can be filed, sawed, sanded, polished, or soldered to other non-ferrous metals. • Pieces may be re-fired multiple times. Add clay, syringe or paste to the finished piece and repeat the firing process. The new portion will shrink 8 10%. The previously fired portion will not shrink again.
