Hello all
I have just had my first bronze projects fired! They all survived the process with no problems and I love the patina they developed. I am loving this stuff!
My question is about combining silver and bronze after the bronze has been sintered. Has anyone had any success and what did you do?
I have thought about trying semi-mechanical connections by adding silver clay through a hole in the finished bronze and torch firing. I am guessing the lower temp will not cause the bronze to "eat" the silver.
I made a "throw away" bronze piece to experiment on so I am not risking much...just some pmc3.
My goal is to set stones in the bronze pieces so I have several different methods in mind but I would love to learn from your experience before I make a mess!
Thanky so much!
