Started working with 999 silver and butane torch firing. Since I’m a noob I wanted to work with cheaper metal clays. I’m having a hell of a time with the bronze. This is a tiny little blob I fired for 2 minutes and quenched immediately. It’s the only thing that has turned to actual bronze. I’ve been failing to make the clay bronze and this is supposed to be a fun cheap craft project. I looked at mini digital kilns and that’s currently out of my price range. I’ve watched quite a few tutorials on torch firing the bronze clay and people online make it look so easy. I’ve tried firing for 5 mins, 8 mins, 10 mins. It all fails. Any help would be appreciated. And please don’t say buy a kiln unless you can direct me to one for 100$.

I was so apprehensive about ordering a sofa I didn’t try out. They had a good 4th of July sale. SO glad I did. It came within 3 weeks and was relatively easy to assemble (I did end up using a rubber mallet). The velvet feels expensive, the color is great, it’s super comfortable. So glad I bought it.
