Hurrah :)
pmc worked ok
was a bit disappointed, when it came out grey but a quick whizz with a rotary wire brush sorted that,

now for the enameling I read I need to re fire @ 890c now I am using pmc3 this is to make Shaw that there is no shrinkage when the glass go,s on

any thoughts on this would be appreciated

any questions about lapidary welcome, as I came to this probably a bit back to front

stone before silver

hi all my first attempt PMC jade hybrid, the enameling did not turn out right seemed to re oxidize the PMC @ the higher temp so ground off and placed an abalone disc I love the natural iridescence of the shell of this type bit hard to catch in a still photo

thanks for looking

I have the advantage to be able to shape the stone to fit the PMC mounts so srinkage not such a problem a lot off my bits seem to turn out how they turn out
