Here are some links that I found helpful while figuring out my kiln and how to use metal clay. Please keep in mind that I have a Paragon SC2, and I use BronzClay and CopprClay. I have my own firing schedule that I figure out after doing a bunch of research and some trial and error. I had to lower the temperature of my kiln much lower than recommended, I think by almost 100 degrees, but my pieces kept blistering. I am still working out the kinks with CopprClay.
This really is tough stuff, so if you have taken on the challenge to learn this medium, congrats and best of luck. If I can help in any way at all, just shoot me an email (nativebloom@outlook.com). I'll keep adding to this as I go along.
