Prometheus® Copper Clay Paste Syringe - 10 Grams (with 3 Tips)

Prometheus® Copper Clay is a malleable and versatile material that, after firing, transforms into pure, solid copper . It is composed of micron-sized copper powder, water, and an organic binder that burns off during firing. Its soft, pliable texture allows for hand-sculpting, laminating, texturizing, rope-wrapping, and even turning .

With PCC® you can create everything from detailed jewelry to sculptures, hollow pieces and decorative objects , with warm finishes and handcrafted character.

It is compatible with:

• Cubic Zirconia (Laboratory Stones)

• Previously tested natural stones

• Glass beads, ceramics, porcelain

• Other Prometheus® metal clays

• And it is suitable for enamelling , ideal for colourful creations.

COOKING OPTIONS ACCORDING TO YOUR SPACE AND EQUIPMENT

Prometheus® Copper Clay offers three firing methods to suit your workflow:

1. Carbon method (recommended)

2-step cooking for maximum structural integrity.

• Step 1: Pre-firing at 500°C for 15 min to remove the binder.

• Step 2: Final firing at 850°C for 90 min in a container with activated carbon (3 cm under and around the pieces).

Result: solid parts, less oxidation and optimal sintering.

2. Open shelf cooking

• Direct cooking at 920°C for 30 minutes on a stainless steel rack.

• Ideal for small or low-volume parts.

• When finished, you can immerse it in hot water to facilitate the removal of the firedscale (oxidation layer).

Tip: Place the pieces at the back of the oven, as the front is usually cooler.

3. Cooking with a blowtorch

• Heat the piece slowly until the flame and smoke disappear.

• Then, apply maximum heat and maintain a constant red-orange color for 5–10 minutes .

• Cool in air or immerse in water.

• Finish with hot Picklean® to remove oxidation, if necessary.

Ideal for testing, small parts or kiln-free work.

FINISHING AND POLISHING

Once fired, your piece is pure, durable copper . All you need is:

• Brush it

• Pickle it (if you see residue or fire)

• Polish it until you achieve the desired finish.

Each object is unique, bearing the stamp of your creativity.

From clay to real copper: create with freedom, fire, and passion.

Prometheus® Copper Clay is your ally in designing pieces that connect tradition and artistic expression.
