Fine Silver

PMC Original
This is also called PMC Standard. This was the first type of PMC clay on the market and is availably only in lump form. It shrinks up to 30 per cent. As it needs to be fired for two hours it is only suitable for kiln firing.
It is ideally suited for projects that require fine details as you can make it large and let it shrink when firing.

PMC+
This type of PMC shrinks around 12 per cent and fires at a higher temperature compared to PMC3. PMC+ is suitable for kiln and torch firing.
It is available in lump clay and sheet.

PMC3
This is the latest type of PMC and recommended for anyone starting to work with PMC. 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.)

It is available in lump clay, syringe and paste. As the silver particles in this clay are the most dense of the range, it should be used for carrying out repairs on any type of fired PMC.

24K Gold
The original 24k gold can be used to make solid elements for embedding into other types of PMC (once fired) or turned into paste by adding a few drops of water. If used as paste we recommend painting 2-3 thin layers on your PMC piece whilst still white after firing. Then torch fire for 2 minutes.

22K Gold
This new type of gold has just been launched. It is less ‘orange’ in colour compared to the 24K gold and can be fired with PMC+ or PMC3 on the PMC+ kiln programme or toch fired.

Aura
We no longer stock the Aura 22 as the gold clays work out more economical and give a better result.
