Very cool process! I've never tried metal clay for jewelry making before. I'm a jeweler and mostly do wax carving or design via CAD, then cast out the wax into silver or gold. If you're able to get more tools, I'd recommend some polishing and sanding bits for your dremel which makes the process easier and gives you more control over the final look. I love to use the following: - Abrasive Cartridge Rolls (sandpaper) in various grits to remove deep scratches, smooth out the metal to prepare for polishing - 3M Radial Bristle Discs for polishing, especially good for hard to reach areas - 3M Polishing Paper is a good alternative to discs for polishing but it takes much longer - Green Polishing Rouge to use with the discs or wheels for polishing away scratches and a nice high shine! - Red Polishing Rouge that helps give an even better shine and doesn't take away any metal. I know this is unsolicited, but I hope it helps and makes things easier for you 🩷
