What is PMC
PMC is made up of very fine silver particles of pure silver or gold held together with water and an organic binder in clay like consistancy that can be formed in any way clay can be formed. After a PMC project has been dried, the water eliminated, it is fired in a kiln. During the firing process the binder burns away and the metal particles fuse together to form solid metal that can be patinaed, and polished like conventional materials. PMC will assay at .999 fine sliver.
