How to Use a Large Punch Tutorial)
or kiln fire the shapes.
After you have fired the dragonfly or whatever shape you have selected, allow it to
cool.
Using tweezers and a small brush, apply PMC3 paste
as quickly as possible to the back side of your shape.
Quickly apply the punched out shape to the bead and press down firmly. Remove
your fingers from the center of the shape.
Now using your fingers make sure
everything is attached to the surface of the bead.
After your attachment has completely dried, you'll need to clean off the paste
that smudged out the sides and into the negative areas.
Then remember you can
let the water dehydrate and scrape out those scraps to add to your scrapes
jar. Fire again 1650° for 10 minutes. You can tumble these beads for one
hour in the Tumbler
to shine up the silver. Simply place a chenille stem
through the bead, curl the ends and throw in the tumbler. Or you can also
finish these by hand with a burnisher
or rotary polishing points.
