class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A broken piece of jewellery indicates that the sintering process was incomplete. In this case, the metal particles cannot bond together completely, and the piece breaks quite easily if you handle it a little too firmly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You fire your piece<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the <strong>hand torch<\/strong> you\u2019ve probably not covered all areas of the piece, or you haven\u2019t heated all areas for the same length of time. Try moving the hand torch in a circular motion evenly over the piece of jewellery. Thicker sections take a little longer to sinter than thinner ones. If this doesn\u2019t help either, extend the firing time. The time given is only a general guideline. Before firing, make sure your torch has enough gas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">in the <strong>kiln<\/strong>: check the burning time and temperature. Depending on the appliance, the temperature displayed may differ from the actual temperature in the combustion chamber. This can also be the case with new appliances, as the temperature sensor may not yet be calibrated. In this case, the only solution is to experiment and adjust the temperature and, if necessary, the burning time gradually.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Questions<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"_zipai_imported":false,"_zipai_import_id":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-735","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"spectra_blocks_featured_image_url":null,"spectra_blocks_author_info":{"display_name":"admin","avatar_url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/105ab0850f6f96346ea1dc6aa84af8e09c518a63bdbf14a1196211a3fda2ff35?s=96&d=mm&r=g","author_link":"https:\/\/docs.metalclay-shop.com\/en\/author\/mail_lpvgrxy2\/","description":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/docs.metalclay-shop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/735","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/docs.metalclay-shop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/docs.metalclay-shop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/docs.metalclay-shop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/docs.metalclay-shop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=735"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/docs.metalclay-shop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/735\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":862,"href":"https:\/\/docs.metalclay-shop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/735\/revisions\/862"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/docs.metalclay-shop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=735"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
