"What is PMC?"
Precious Metal Clay (PMC) is a revolutionary material developed and patented by Mitsubishi Materials of Japan.
Tiny particles of pure silver are suspended in an organic binder to create a material that can be worked like modeling clay. Pieces are fired in a kiln to 900°C (1750°F) or heated with a blow torch to burn off the binder and fuse the metal.
The result is a solid, 100% pure silver object.
