Uses
|
This version can be used to craft any type of item, but we caution it's use for rings since it is not as strong as metal alloy clays such as PMCPro or PMC Sterling. It must be burnished well before soldering and uses more solder than sterling silver.
|
|
Workability
|
PMC+ dries quickly, so care must be taken to quickly remove and save scraps. Unused clay should be stored in a clay hydrator when not in use.
|
|
Embedded Objects
|
Any object that can withstand the firing temperatures and times of PMC+ can be embedded and fired in place. Some natural gemstones, lab gems and cubic zirconia's can be used, as well as porcelain. Check out our Gemstone Firing Guide for details on a specific stone.
