Firing Pmc Clay In A Skutt 1027-3


Recommended Posts

Hello All!

 

I have a friend who is looking to make an engagement ring.  He has asked if I could fire it in my kiln.  He would be making it out of gold PMC which I gather fires at 1290 degrees for an hour and a half or so. I have absolutely no experience with precious metal clay.  Can you fire it in a Skutt 1027-3?  Just seeing if anyone has any helpful words of wisdom!

Thanks!

This is from a PMC site I Googled .... It should work in any programmable kiln.

 

Firing PMC Gold

As with other metal clays, allow the work to dry, preferably overnight. Drying may be hastened with moderate heat. The recommended firing apparatus is a programmable electric kiln, which provides dependable control.

 

Schedule A: 900º C (1650º F) at least 10 minutes

Schedule B: 850º C (1560º F) at least 30 minutes

Schedule C: 750º C (1380º F) at least 60 minutes

Schedule D: 700º C (1290º F) at least 90 minutes

 

I wish you all the best of luck with this!
