Silver paste

①

Take out printed clay with the tile and dry it for 24 hours by natural drying or dry it

by warming for at least 1 hour using hair dryer or dry it by heating in the mini

toaster oven for 10 minutes in 200°C. Print-out which has been completely dried and

cooled down can be detached from the tile easily.

NOTE : Be careful that print-out which is not completely dry, might be difficult to get complete firi

ng and liable to crumble.

②

Put the dried print-out in the electric kiln and set temperature at 780°C and fire it fo

r 10 minutes. Then silver clay changes into fine silver. Switch off the kiln and open th

e door to cool down the heat enough before taking the print-out out of the kiln.

NOTE : Mini electric kiln which ROKIT Inc. provides or any electric kiln which can be heated up to 9

80°C can be used but quality of fired output may vary depending on the kiln.

NOTE : Use tongs or wear gloves when take the sample out of the kiln to avoid scald.

③

As the surface of the print-out taken out of the kiln has binder powder on it, brush

off the surface using stainless steel brush provided in the kit box and silvery product

will be completed.

NOTE : Brush thoroughly every corner for completion.
