Egyptian Oasis. Dragon Master. Cast Away. Native Pride. These are just a few of the big, bold and beautiful new molds available this month.

Our antique molds are hand crafted from the original element so you get a perfect impression. A mold is a great way to own the beauty of these collectibles without the investment of the original, and the sizes are just right for jewelry components.

We use 100% silicone mold material that does not stick to metal clay, or any other type of clay, so no release is needed. Use any type of precious metal clay, polymer or ceramic clays. The molds can be placed on a heat source to dry, and can even be placed in an oven or toaster oven. Our molds are safe to 500F.

Featuring Magic, Coal, and Coconut carbons, the Sampler Pack has everything you need to fire any creation. Each type of carbon offers something unique and comes in a 1/2lb bag. That’s a 1/2lb of coal, 1/2lb of coconut and 1/2lb magic carbon! With the Cool Tools Carbon Sampler Pack, you will get the finish you desire and will never be without the carbon you need.

Magic Carbon

Magic Carbon is a wonderfully versatile carbon. Magic Carbon is pre-tested for all brands of bronze, copper and silver clays and fires any thickness in a 2 hour schedule in most kilns. Magic Carbon has the advantage of firing at a lower temperature. The faster firing and the lower temperature puts less demand on the heating elements, giving your elements a longer life than other carbons. Magic Carbon produces an antique patina on bronze and copper clays, which eliminates the need for additional patination.

Coal Carbon

Our Coal Carbon is a coal-based activated carbon firing media. Coal Carbon is specifically designed for use with bronze and brass clays. This carbon will produce a rainbow patina on fired BRONZclay. The patina is unpredictable, but fairly durable. If undesired, it can be burnished and polished to a high shine. Not for use with copper clays.

Coconut Carbon

Coconut Carbon is a coconut-based activated carbon firing media that is formulated for firing bronze, copper, brass and all other types of metal clays. This carbon will produce a clean, satin finish which is fairly durable. Coconut Carbon can also be polished to a high shine or desired finish.

Copper is essential to all living organisms and has anti-bacterial properties, is inexpensive, and is easy to work with.

These copper wire designs can be co-fired in all copper clays and can also be soldered using low temperature silver solder to incorporate with metal stampings, sheet metals, wire, and other materials.

These products are sold by 6″ lengths. Copper can be colored using oxidizing agents, heat, colored pencils, paints, inks, resins, Gilders Paste and other products. Before applying any of these surface treatments, be sure the metal is clean.

Christina was excited and told us a little about herself:

“You made my day! The soldering gods were not with me here today in sunny California, but, my friends were from Cools Tools!

My latest designs  are hammering out old silver coins with a steampunk attitude.

Thank you for the $100 gift certificate and for your great service!

Regards, Chris Berg, Artist

(P.S. Now, for the moment, I will go play my ukulele & design my next piece of jewelry.)”

The new Art Clay Silver formula provides you the best of all your favorite clays and is available in lump form, syringe, and paste.

This new formula features something from each previous type of clay in the Art Clay family including Art Clay Original, Low Fire and Slow Dry!

The features of the new Art Clay Silver Formula include better workability compared to original formula and 650 formulas and longer working time than original, 650, and 650 Slow Dry formulas.

The new formula only has 8-9% shrinkage, with similar drying times as original and 650 formulas when using applied heat (such as a hair dryer, warmer, or dehydrator).

Take advantage of easier carving and filing in the dry stage. It also offers quicker and simpler reconstitution from dried clay; new formula clay is meant to absorb moisture well.

Reviews are flying in on the new formula and customers have been loving it!

“Love, love, love. I really love the new formula! Will be ordering more this week! It doesn’t dry as quickly and seems to take texture better than the original slow dry formula.

I used my new texture plate I got from Cool Tools on a piece and love the results.”

If you are curious or intrigued, you should try the new formula today. You might be surprised at how easy it is to use.

Linda was excited and told us a little about herself:

“VERY exciting!  First of all…..thank you so much!

I started beading about 8 years ago and found myself loving the craft.  From simple stringing to beading with needle and thread, I was obsessed. Then I found metal!  Metal wire, sheet metal, brass and my all time favorite….copper.  Before trying PMC I was obsessed with torch fire enamel thanks to Barbara Lewis’ Painting with Fire workshop and book. There’s something about playing with the torch that makes you feel empowered. I’d always been afraid to even be near one!

About three months ago I became interested in Precious Metal Clay and while at the Tucson Bead Show in February, my wish list included tools and items used with this medium.  I took an on-line class through Craftsy on Torch Fired Precious Metal Clay by Jenny Vestal.  There were many tools I didn’t even think about that the class brought to my attention.  Not having purchased all the appropriate tools for this medium, I went to Cool Tools and was amazed at how many items you have for PMC!  I haven’ stopped buying yet! lol

One of those items was Cool Slip and when I did the review, I never really thought I would win.  I wanted to let the people at Cool Tools know how much I appreciated the offering that is available through them.  Cool Slip is awesome and I don’t think there is any product out there that can beat it.

Winning has been exciting for me and I hope that everyone continues to write the reviews of the products they purchase at Cool Tools because reading what another artist thinks of the product really helps in deciding whether to purchase the product or not.

Thank you, Cool Tools!”

After every purchase, you have the opportunity to review your products. Your reviews help fellow jewelry artists better understand the products we offer.
