Work, roll, cut, shape and fire versatile PMC® just like any other type of clay. After firing, it comes out of your oven as a pure fine-silver object. Create jewelry, beads, components—anything you can do with clay, you can do with PMC! When fired at 1,650° for two hours, PMC3™ is the strongest fine silver metal clay available. It has a finer, smoother composition that’s easy to work with and manipulate. You can also embed findings with confidence—firing at a low temperature means they won’t be heat-damaged. PMC3 is suitable for torch-firing as well as kiln-firing.
