Stupid Question?
Hello People,
This is probably a stupid question, but is it possible to make PMC jewelry using a torch or do you have to have a kiln? TIA, Judith |
Stupid Question?
Not a stupid question. There are several different types and
formulations for the clays. Most will require a kiln for better temperaure and time control, but there sre some that can get results with the use of a torch. I'm willing to be, however, that, after a few torchings, you'll want to change over to kiln use. :46:25 -0700, " discovered a keyboard and, for our edification and amusement, submitted Hello People, This is probably a stupid question, but is it possible to make PMC jewelry using a torch or do you have to have a kiln?

TIA, Judith Judith, it also depends on the size and thickness of the piece and the number of parts that join or are thin also - basically bigger, thicker, more complex = better in a kiln. I've successfully done small pieces on my stovetop also - in a metal sieve. You must get and hold it at the temp where the binder burns off and the metal 'sinters' (correct term?). |
