New: PMC OneFire Sterling Posted on August 26, 2016
Coming soon.. The super-strength PMC you have been waiting for!
Available to pre-order now. Delivery from Friday 9th September.
PMC OneFire Sterling is a complimentary product to PMC Flex created using the same unique binder which allows a much longer working time compared to any other type of metal clay. Once fired in a kiln, the silver feels very much like traditional wrought or cast sterling silver. It consists of pure silver, binder, water and 4% copper. This means it easily meets minimum UK hallmarking standards for sterling silver (.925) once fired.
PMC OneFire Sterling is available as lump clay in 22.5 g (20g net) and 50.6g (45g net) packs. Paste is easily made in a matter of minutes by adding a little water to wet/dry lump clay in an old PMC3 paste pot. Aim for a thin yogurt consistency.
