Question 1

Can I add water to it?

Accepted Answer

After taking out the silver clay from the package, the first thing I would like you to do is store the remaining silver clay. Take out as much silver clay as you need. Wrap the remaining silver clay tightly with double wrap and store it in an airtight container (such as a silver clay package or a plastic bag with a zipper).
During the production, I will make it while adding water frequently. Here, we will introduce  "points to add water", "correction of cracks", and "re-kneading the clay" in the process of "stretching the silver clay into a string".
"Point to add water"
1 Spread the clay into a string.
2 As you stretch the clay, the surface becomes whitish.
3 When the clay surface becomes whitish, stop the "stretching" process and add a small amount of water.
*If you add too much water, the clay will become sticky and stick to your fingers, making it difficult to work with. In that case, let it dry naturally for a while, and continue working after the moisture on the surface of the clay has dried as shown in the photo above.
"Fixing cracks"
1 For small cracks, wet the surface of the clay with water and rub it with your finger.
2 If there is a large and deep crack, re-knead the clay.
3 Place the clay on the double layer of plastic wrap and add a few drops of water (enough to moisten the surface of the clay).
4 Wrap the clay in plastic wrap and rub the clay well to soften it.
"Re-kneading Clay"
1 Place the silver clay in the center of the double layer of plastic wrap.
2 Add a few drops of water (enough to wet the surface of the clay).
* If you add too much water and the clay becomes sticky, leave it for a while to evaporate the water.
3 Wrap the silver clay in plastic wrap and rub the silver clay well to soften it.
