  • I’m saying “sintering” (not “centering"). "Sintering" means the metal particles have been heated to a temperature just below the metal’s melting point, creating a solid material. If the metal clay is not fully sintered, the piece will not be strong, because the particles will remain in a powder form.

  • thank you

  • You are more than welcome. Come visit our forum on our Web site to show off your creations. Hope to see you (and your work) there!

  • Nice video. Liked how it showed how to flatten the piece back out when it started to curl.

  • Glad you found it helpful!

  • WOW, Thank you very much, great information!

  • Thanks so much. I was looking around for beading and jewelery making supplies when I came upon this metal clay. I saw that there was some that was PMC, silver and I thought that it would be really cool to be able to make freestyle pieces of silver looking pendants and such. Then I looked up using metal clay and there you were. I would never have known you could do something so neat had I not been able to watch your video...again...thanks a bunch.

  • You refer to the website to watch the video on how to test if PMC is dry before firing; it would be helpful if you could provide a link since I cannot find this video....

  • Will this work with brass clay?

  • Hi - thanks, but you keep referring to "centering" and I have no idea what you mean by that.

  • This is an awesome vid.  Thanks

  • I put my clay on fire and touch it and my outside hand was a bit hot and inside not it just hot a bit, so it turn clay so i did a art :P

    Greetings from Antwerp!
