SPOTLIGHT ON... DESIGNING WITH PMC STEP BY STEP (TORCH METHOD)
• design your item and consider what qualities are required for it to work e.g. strength, flexibility or fine detail • choose you pMc accordingly • set out your working area before opening the clay. ensure everything you need is to hand to avoid delays once the clay is exposed to the air • once the clay is open, take off the required amount, re-wrap any excess and place in an air tight jar or grip seal bag • Mould, roll and shape the clay until you have realised your design • allow pMc to fully dry, (usually overnight) • sand and refine any rough areas and broach out any holes • place on a heat proof brick and start to heat with the torch, keeping the flame moving. the pMc will start to smoke as the binder is burnt away - don’t panic this is normal! as the pMc reaches a pale orange colour start timing and heat for the time advised on the packet (usually around 3mins). always keep the flame moving to avoid overheating in one spot • allow to cool and sand again if needed • polish with a scratch brush, burnisher or polishing papers to finish
