This is an eco-friendly product, containing recycled silver.Torch Firing When torch firing, a soft flame will appear around the piece until the binder has burnt away. When this flame has disappeared, heat the piece to the point where a pale orange glow is visible and keep the piece heated at this colour for 3 minutes.Kiln Firing PMC3 should be fired in a kiln at 800°C for 30 minutes when the design is made of PMC3 only. For mixed media designs or designs featuring gemstones, fire at 600°C for 45 minutes. Please note that only certain types of gemstones are safe for firing in precious metal clays.
