Check out this website.

I found this site in a magazine. I think the possibilities are pretty endless with the metal clay. I'm thinking custom emblems, centercaps, dash emblems, shifters, anything. What do you guys think? Jewelry Making Supplies | Art Clay - PMC Supplies, Silver Clay, Paragon Kilns, Blazer

In a meager attempt to take this thread back on subject (slightly), are you like rich, or just insane?

Did you look at the price of that stuff? And that's per gram. The kiln itself is $300, without the extra bells and whistles.

Nothing like driving around with $300 center caps. Those won't get stolen, I'm sure.

in addition to that... silver clay is like shrinky-dinks for metal. you do NOT get a percision piece when you are done. that is why they are intended as art pieces only. your spiffy "Z28" emblems would be wrinkled and not the right size.

I was thinking more in the way of smaller decorative parts. The price is definately the biggest downside to this stuff. For something like a small decorative piece like custom emblems or something it would work great. I really just thought it was an interesting website with a lot of great tools. I've been thinking of making some pieces to try to sell and came across this stuff in a jewlery magazine. There are some great metalworking tools on this site too. Thought I would share something cool.
