Default 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

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.

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?).
