3D Silhouette Dies
Silhouette dies bring your pieces to life by allowing you to easily create 3D shapes, for jewellery that jumps right out at you! The object is to bubble the centre out of your piece and accentuate the edges of your design, giving it a 3D effect. Directions for use with a hydraulic press 1. Texture must be done on metal before placing on die 2. Place your material on the die, then the die between soft rubber blocks/sheets (such as EVA Ethylene-vinyl acetate, we have been advised Polyurethane is not recommended) for your desired effect 3. Apply the pressure until you can see the metal bulge through the die to the desired extent 4. Apply the pressure carefully and gradually. Too much pressure will cause these dies to crack
