Goldie Bronze™ is a bronze of a beautiful golden color, which becomes very hard after burning. Comes in 2 types of powder - SOFT si HARD. SOFT it has a very soft consistency and is ideal for working with punches and textures, being an excellent medium for fine details. HARD is used to create a firmer type of clay with maximum strength - it is ideal for bracelets, rings and decorative objects.

FOR MIXING

● Mix the powder very well in the original container to ensure a homogeneous mix, and then place the desired amount in a smaller container.

Repeat the action several times to confirm that any traces of air are removed from the clay to obtain a smooth and consistent surface before use. Put in a plastic bag or container and wait 30 minutes.Note: We recommend the use of demineralized or distilled water for mixing or rehydrating clay.
