The project is now very fragile! <\/h3>\n<p>It can now be touched up and sanded in the following ways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div>You can touch up blemishes with Silver Clay paste or spray paste. Dry the workpiece again after applying the paste. <\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Then you can sand the workpiece smooth with the sanding pads.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Baby wipes are also useful at this stage to achieve a perfectly smooth result.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>And at this stage, you can also file or scratch patterns or lines into the jewelry.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>To flatten edges and straighten edges, paper can be used with e.g. grit 400 By making a circular motion, a ring, for example, can be sanded nice and straight,<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Various micro files can be used to file openings larger, remove bumps and engrave.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Brushes and water brushes can also be used to touch up blemishes. Sometimes actions must be repeated several times for a perfectly smooth and tight result. In any case, make sure that between steps the jewelry is always thoroughly dry.  <\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Merge parts.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With silver clay \/ metal clay you can work very well in 3d. Make individual parts, touch them up and join them together. You can &#8220;glue&#8221; the different dried parts together with water, if they are very small pieces or with water mixed with a little silver clay paste for the larger parts or with undiluted paste for the larger parts.  <\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-972\" src=\"https:\/\/esquell.eu\/app\/uploads\/2025\/02\/schuren-en-vijlen-300x113.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/esquell.eu\/app\/uploads\/2025\/02\/schuren-en-vijlen-300x113.png 300w, https:\/\/esquell.eu\/app\/uploads\/2025\/02\/schuren-en-vijlen-1024x384.png 1024w, https:\/\/esquell.eu\/app\/uploads\/2025\/02\/schuren-en-vijlen-768x288.png 768w, https:\/\/esquell.eu\/app\/uploads\/2025\/02\/schuren-en-vijlen-600x225.png 600w, https:\/\/esquell.eu\/app\/uploads\/2025\/02\/schuren-en-vijlen.png 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n\n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n    <\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":11447,"parent":0,"template":"","kennisbank-taxonomy":[6336],"class_list":["post-11446","kennisbank","type-kennisbank","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","kennisbank-taxonomy-general"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/esquell.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kennisbank\/11446","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/esquell.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kennisbank"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/esquell.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/kennisbank"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esquell.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11447"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/esquell.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11446"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kennisbank-taxonomy","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esquell.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kennisbank-taxonomy?post=11446"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
