"PMC3" - Clay that turns into SILVER?!

[@GenuineLhachwen]

Fun stuff! I made wedding rings in 2002 from this and I had several arguments with jewelers/silversmiths telling me silver clay didn't even exist. It dries quick and the secret is to fire it fully. When I used it there was zero information in English on how to use it so I kinda winged it for the most part lol.

[@Poppy92972]

That’s actually really cool! Had people just never heard of it before? 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@dgswatercolor]

I used it in a college art class in 2006ish. I didn’t like working with it, but maybe that’s just because I didn’t like what I made. The product is pretty cool though.

[@merrymac5460]

I learned of PMC back in 1995. I saw it in a Fire Mountain (jewellers supply) catalogue. I have never tried it out.

[@jesshasnofilter]

Bravery. I respect that.

[@Rikyrowley]

Where can I find this clay at? Because I would really fun to make a custom necklace with it

[@KeyushTheStuntDog]

PMC is a very sticky clay so it's a good idea to use a barrier cream on your fingers and tools so you're not loosing expensive clay. It's also very difficult to sculpt. It shrinks a substantial amount when fired as you're burning out the organic material. You can fuse silver together but you run the risk of melting either part as the temperature to fuse is very close to melting point. With your silver surfer piece you could get a bit of silver solder and join them that way. Would love to see how you planned finish that off.

The secret to a really smooth, shiny finish is to sand with super fine grit papers and then gently burnish *before* you fire. I did a workshop with silver clay ages ago back in 2005 and loved it. I made a few pieces and would have liked to experiment more but unfortunately the cost was too much at the time. I love the patina/colour effects you added to the pen. Maybe if you revisit the silver clay you could make some jewellery for Mrs Jazza :) It would be interesting to see you sculpt/form on that ultra tiny level. (You can even set gems in if you get lab created stones.) Oh.. the nose ring doesn't look terrible! ;)

They make other metals. It might not have the prestige of silver, but bronze will take a decent shine. It goes for about $20 for 100g.

Had such a blast looking at this!! I'm a goldsmith, and I always love it when someone picks up some of the trade. It is a price profession, but there is nothing more fun than seeing something looking like doodoo turning into a piece of glossy amazingness. If you ever want to do this again, I can help you out with some tips and tricks regarding getting a good high gloss polish and with soldering multiple clay pieces together. The clay works in the following way. It is a silver grain infused with a soldering type fluid that gives it that kneedability and makes sure when you heat it, it melts together. The reason you got fire it because you burn those fluids out of your material. Heating it up to fiery red makes sure that the silver is at the start of its melting road and starts to bind together while evaporating the fluids. P.s. please don't you plastic cups with hot stuff. Just use an old pickle jar with more water. Gives my heart an easier time

PMC has a bit of shrinkage so making something like a ring would be tricky. Also, once the clay medium burns off you end up with fine silver - so a bit soft for jewellery.

[@zuzuzu7]

Safety note: It's generally a bad idea to wear gloves near any rapidly spinning tool! The fabric can get easily hooked and wrap on the spinning shaft, leading to injury and possibly appendage loss! Thick all-leather gloves near a low-torque dremel are probably going to be okay, but there are so many other solutions to this problem -- wooden ring clamps are useful for this exact purpose, but there are plenty of solutions that don't require specialized tools from clothes pins, small woodworking clamps, pliers with a bit of padding. Be safe out there kids and and keep the fabric away from the spinny things!

[@Amber_Scarlet]

It's also generally a bad idea to hold metal with anything but your hands when polishing. You need to know how hot the metal is so you don't burn yourself or melt your piece. An ice bath would be recommended if you're using gloves.

I've used it before and it's great stuff. However you have to account for shrinkage as each clay type has a different percentage if you're blending it with different metals. There is a copper version of this stuff too. Oh, and you could use glazes as well instead of paint to colour any models.

[@seoulpeterson432]

When using a rotary tool (or drill press) you'll want to avoid using gloves. If the glove gets caught in the tool, you could easily lose a finger.

[@Mrjcowman]

Here's the comment I was looking for! To add: keep a bowl of water right next to your grinding station to quench the low heat so you can keep working. If you power through that heat with gloves on, you might accidentally anneal your piece and that's usually not a good thing to do at that step

Suggestion for anyone wanting to try out Precious Metal Clay, instead of using a regular craft mat, use a glass craft mat/work surface. The clean up is so much easier, and the fact that you can use a razor blade to scrape together all of the excess means you'll have next to no loss. The same holds true for polymer clay, though the drastically lower cost doesn't make it as important as it is for PMCs.

[@Cyberia398]

Oh, now you’ve done it - once you start with jewellery making / working with silver you’ve just opened a door to a whole new world of tools and equipment. To really shine up your silver pieces you need to get some rouge and one of those cotton buffing wheels. Working with silver is so satisfying. And soldering your board to the wave is fairly straightforward. Though you need some flux and silver solder. The main issue with silver clay is that you get a fine silver (99.9%) piece which is very soft - so it scratches easily and would be better used on something that won’t be exposed to a lot of wear and tear. Never get into a sword fight carrying a fine silver sword!

It was fun watching you work with a medium that I’ve been working with for years. Personally I prefer bronze and copper metal clay and the kind I use requires a kiln but they do have brands that can be torch fired just like the silver clay. It’s also cheaper than silver.

[@bl4cksp1d3r]

I'm sitting here and wondering what's the chemistry behind these clays

[@AnneStanDesigns]

@@bl4cksp1d3r it’s simple at its core. One part binder to 3 parts metal particles and add water. The binder burns off at about 800 degrees Fahrenheit more or less depending on the type of binder. And depending on the metal, the particles start to fuse together at a high enough temperature. About 1100 degrees for silver, 1400-1550 for bronze and 1500-1650 for copper. The fusion process is called sintering. I personally make my own copper and bronze clay which requires being fired in a kiln in a bed of coconut carbon to keep the metal from oxidizing as it sinters.

[@Tronex333]

pmc3 is a clay compound that contains sterling silver and is "activated" in a sense when exposed to heat/energy. PMC stands for precious metal clays and has silver in a fine powder form which are all bounded together by something known as organic binders, once it is heated, it dehydrates and basically dissintegrates leaving the clay behind. You have to be careful with this clay or it'll become silver and you'll be unable to make it into clay again.

[@whatcanidooo]

If you really want to technically you can melt it down, grind it into a powder and add your own binder to just make new clay with it, most people don't just have the tools for that on hand. But you can also just melt it into nuggets and sell it to a jeweler

Goldsmith here, and while I've heard of the metal clay I've never really messed with it. Fascinating stuff all the same! And yeah, metal gets really dang hot when polishing. Sometimes its useful to have water nearby that you can dip it into in order to cool it off quickly, or I just put it on a cool steel block if it gets a bit too hot. Should look into doing freeform casting at sometime(stuff like cuttlebone casting, water casting, broom/spaghetti casting, or bean casting) and experiment what you can make by just pouring molten silver onto various things.

PMC is finely divided Silver suspended in a malleable media material that when heated the silver in it at a certain melting point conforms and retains the clay shape given, after which the media material burns off leaving the shape of the item desired and depending on the PMC will be smaller in size from the original shape made.

A few thoughts about this clay. 1. soldering it, it was mentioned below that it can be, but would love to see the process in action. 2. Would a stamp/cutter work well with it like normal clay? 3. If it was malleable enough to press or pour into a mould like the plaster moulds? Perhaps multi layering and drying between layers. I have no idea how this would turn out.

That would be super easy for you and I like watching you stretch yourself with new techniques, and/or materials the most. I also like you showing off your master at things you already know so well, but watching growth has extra appeal)

The amount of work you put in to your videos is outstanding

When grinding silver, it's best to occasionally dip it in water between grinding periods to keep it cool and keep from burning your fingers.😁Also the screen that you're firing it on should be a hard ceramic mesh to keep from deforming the piece and keeping an even heat.

That was great!!! You're too much how you make anything and make it look awesome.

Melt and pour, clay bake silver! I'm here for it

Watching Jazza forging a ring is better than watching Amazon's series "The Rings of Power"

This is really cool. Clay has never been my thing, but I still love watching clay being molded

I love how subtle flipping us off was at 3:34 😆
