    soldering bronzeclay and post fired working..

    2nd post ever, on a roll, thought I might as well add in this query too....

    Once bronzeclay has been fired - hopefully successfully(see previous post, ahem) - can it be soldered? can it be heated again with silverclay without compromising structural integrity?

    I have seen the other post below ask about torch firing silverclay on fired bronzeclay.... is this do-able?

    Also, I presume that any further heating/working will remove the colour patina from firing in the activated carbon?

    If we wanted to shine the bronze up and then get those beautiful rainbow colours onto it, would we use liver of sulpher? And, to get some of those wonderful crusty blue/green patinas on bronze, what do we need?

    Thanks again - ciao 4 now!   Gia.
