The strongest of the PMC® fine silver clays, PMC3™ is easy to work with and manipulate. It fires more quickly and at a lower temperature than other types of PMC—you can fire your PMC3 pieces in as little as 10 minutes.
PMC3™ offers a range of design options. Roll, cut and shape jewelry, beads, and components like you would with other types of PMC®. PMC3 can also be fired with glass, some natural stones, and Embeddables® findings.
When fired in a kiln at 1,650° for two hours, PMC3™ is the strongest fine silver metal clay available. It’s also suitable for torch firing.
