i have done a decent amount of metal work an i would have to say that with proper control, you could use a hotter torch and the heat time would be much shorter
Are you familiar with making a looser viscosity (or paste) out of this kind of clay? I've seen a compound available for sale that suggests this is better than adding water....do you know what this compound is made of? Can silicone be added to the clay to make such a paste? I'm interested in knowing anything you can offer on this
You spoke of "firescale" if you overheat the piece, but firescale is a black layer of cupric oxide that forms on the surface of metal containing copper, such as sterling silver, when it is heated. Since PMC is fine silver, I thought it wouldn't have a problem with firescale. Did you mean "melt"? Please clarify.
I should also mention the PMC clay used is PMC+ fine silver clay (you can torch fire it) Others are kiln fire only so read the firing instructions prior to purchase :)

Can you use a regular oven, in place of a torch or kiln?

Is that a BernzOmatic 3-in -1 Micro Torch? I just bought one of those and I wanted to make sure it would work. Thanks for the video. :D
