This PMC3™ paste (a thick slip) comes ready to use, saving you the time of having to thin out clay yourself. The slip is ideal for repairs, connecting clay parts and adding details to your designs.
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.
This jar contains 15g of fine silver, in slip form. The packaging features a scannable QR code printed on it that allows you to use your smartphone to scan and go directly to the online instructions for this product.
Can be used in combination with ceramics in glaze & bisque decoration.
