possible to fire one clay first, then inlay another clay into the fired piece and re-fire. However, since the second clay tends to shrink away from the first one, several re-firings are sometimes required, which is a highly time-consuming process.<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>Repairing cracks and gaps, too, requires re-firing, sometimes more than once.<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>It is impossible to fire to fire metal clay and other materials together , such as wood and polymer clay.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Hadar\u2019s Cold Inlay Powders \u2013 soon to be released on our <a href=\"http:\/\/store.artinsilver.com\/purchasepmc.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Web store<\/a> \u2013 are designed to address these challenges.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is Cold Inlay Powder?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Each cold inlay powder is a mix of pure metal powders. Hadar\u2019s Cold Inlay Powders are currently available in silver, gold, and black colors. The technique is  called &#8220;cold inlay&#8221; because no firing is involved. Only the piece to be inlaid is fired. The inlay is done by filling the indentations of the fired piece with the inlay powder and adding a drop of CA (cyanoacrylate) glue.<\/p>\n<p>Cold inlay allows you to combine metal powders that cannot be fired together because of different firing temperatures, different shrinkage rates, and compatibility. It can also be used for repair in a fraction of the time it takes to repair by firing, and it can be used in materials which cannot be fired.<\/p>\n<p>Once sanded, the inlaid powder looks just like fully sintered metal.<\/p>\n<p>For a demonstration of the process, please download the <a href=\"http:\/\/artinsilver.com\/Cold-inlay-instruction_manual.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instruction Manual for Hadar\u2019s Cold Inlay Powders<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although there are many creative possibilities for inlay work in metal clay, inlaying one clay into another prior to firing can be challenging.
