Precious Metal Clay Jewelry

There are 3 kinds of PMC

PMC - This is the standard. It is great for molding and easy to work with. This is because the flaky particles allow a lot of room for the binder. It also has the highest shrinkage rate of about 30%.
PMC+ - The particles have sharper edges leaving less space between the particles making the metal more durable. You can fire PMC+ at three different temperatures and it fires very fast and has a shrinkage rate of only 12%.

PMC3 - PMC3 is made with even smaller particles and has even less space between the particles allowing it to be fused at an even lower temperature. This also means when firing you can use other means of heat other than a kiln. The shrinkage rate is only 12%
