Hi,
another quick question because you lot are really helpful.
I have made a few things from PMC but I seem to have a problem with the finished object having edges breaking off. For example, I made a Gingko Bilbao leaf from a mould. I tried twice and both times the very edge broke off (different edges too otherwise I'd think it was something to do with that particular section).
Any ideas why this may be happening - is it that the clay is too dry when I place it into the mould?
Could it be the firing technique (I ramp up the teperature to about 1000 C then cool down to 650 ish before putting the clay in the kiln)?
Thanks in advance for any help - I've given up on PMC for now as its ending up as a lot of expensive mistakes.
