What is Precious Metal Clay?
This revolutionary new material was invented by Mitsubishi Materials Corp. of Sanda, Japan. It consists of 3 ingredients: tiny particles of pure silver (or pure gold) water and an organic binder. When PMC is fired in a small electric kiln, the water evaporates and the binder burns away. The material shrinks as the metal particles fuse together, sharpening the surface detail, leaving an object made of pure silver. Precious Metal Clay comes in silver and gold; in lump form, paste (or slip) and sheet. It also comes prepackaged in a syringe that can be extruded to ornament a surface.
