I watched it being done on Sky TV Create and crafts a few weeks ago.

The fine gold is mixed with water to make a slip. It is them painted on
the silver and fired with the butane torch.
Looked good but the price put me off straight away.

3grams of the gold cost 65.90 GBP's approx. 120 dollars.
Nearly two weeks of my retirement pension.

The Web site of the place mentioned in the magazine article showed the stuff
and I tried to order a 1 gram bottle over thier Web site. The site would
not let my order go through. I emailed them about the problem and my email
was never returned. Maybe they were swamped with requests. The stuff is
expensive though.

The site pmcsupply.com has a thicker gold leaf material that is meant to be
applied by the Koran kum boo method of heating the silver item first then
laying on this gold and burnishnig it in. That also sounds interesting.

I tried to contact them last Tuesday. I just tried again and the order on
line worked this time. The price is $42 for 1 gram. I will let you know my
experience with this stuff when it comes.

Greg

we'll hope that's the problem? how long ago did you try to contact
them?

Oh yes, the losing it part is a given!

We used the 24k gold PMC in my Level II class. I made what will eventually
be earrings (I forgot to put the hole in them before firing and haven't
drilled it since). It was pretty cool to use. I bought a gram of the gold
from the instructors, but I haven't done anything with it.

And the July issue isn't out here yet (pout).
