Fine Silver Precious Metal Clay - PMC3

This is the latest type of PMC and recommended for anyone starting to work with clay. It shrinks only around 6 per cent. As it is the most durable and strongest, it is most suitable for rings. PMC3 is also the best for using with glass. In addition it has the best luster of the three types of PMC. PMC3 fires at a low temperature and can be torch fired in 2 minutes. When torch firing remember to time the two minutes from the time the piece starts to glow. Ideally pieces should be no larger or thicker than a 50 pence piece.

PMC3 is available in Clay, Clay in a Syringe and Paste. As the silver particles in PMC3 clay are the most dense of the range, it should be used for carrying out repairs on any type of fired PMC.
