PMC Sterling Silver clay / pack

Finally! The clay we always dreamed of is here. PMC STERLING is sterling silver in the form of a malleable clay. It has the working properties of soft clay when moist. It handles beautifully and stays moist longer than any other silver clay product. It can be modeled with fingers or modeling tools, it can be molded, sculpted or pinched into anything you can imagine. Once dry, PMC STERLING can be sanded, filed, drilled, carved and shaped.
To transform the dry clay into solid sterling silver, a short 2-stage firing process is used. The first phase (30 minutes at 1000F (538C) on an open kiln shelf) burns away the organic binder. The second phase is a 30 minute carbon firing at 1500F (815C) to sinter the clay into a solid sterling silver object.
You fire PMC STERLING you will need a small jewelry kiln that is capable of reaching and holding both 1000F (538C) and 1500F (815C).
