    PMC is very versatile, I even used a hot air gun (the ones used for
    paint stripping made by Wagner 750/1000F) with pmc3 and it worked
    well. Torch firing is fun to try out, but I melted a bunch of my
    first test subjects. Experiment with little pieces of clay to get a
    feel for if it works or not. The key is temperature and/or time. Of
    course I would love to have the larger model PMC kiln because i'm
    using a flower pot kiln for my flask burnout. Bottom line is, if you
    can afford to purchase a kiln, refer to the great posts on this forum
    (Comes up alot).
