My metal clay piece is dried but not fired yet, the edges are rough and look messy - can I neaten it up before firing?
Yes, once the metal clay has dried out you can use sanding sticks or fine sandpaper to smooth edges or carve into it to make patterns or textures. It will be much easier to make any alterations or neaten it up at this stage than after it has been fired, as then it will be a hard metal and will take much more effort to work it.

My metal clay starts to look cracked and dry out whilst I'm using it - how can I prevent this?
This is because the air is drying it out. You can avoid this by trying not to over handle the clay. Before you open the clay, have an idea of what you are going to make - you could create a mock-up using plasticine to help you design it.
Once the pack is opened you need to keep any unused clay airtight - cling film is great for this. It may also be a good idea to put a damp sponge in the packet to keep the atmosphere damp. If the piece you are working on is drying out too quickly you can spray it lightly with water to rehydrate it.
