Uses
|
This form can be cut with
punches or scissors or tear it to achieve a ragged edge. You can draw pencil lines to determine the shape you want. Apply as decorations to other silver clay objects. Use for
making bezels, folded or draped forms and ring shanks. |

Workability
|
PMC sheet dries very slowly.
It's exceptionally thin and can be laminated to make thicker sheets by
applying a mist of water (very fine!) to the paper and folding in half
or placing another sheet on top. You can also use school glue like Elmers brand to hold pieces together. Set a weight on top until the joint seals. This glue will not distort the sheet during the firing process.

Embedded Objects
|
Any object that can withstand
the firing temperatures and times of PMC Plus 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.
