Hello Lori,

    (BTW everyone, Orchid's own Suzanne Wade is the new editor of the PMC
    newsletter - Congrats, Suzanne.) 	 When I first wanted to fire PMC, I
    checked with my ceramic artist friends.  They said their kiln would
    work, BUT they were afraid that the temperature control was not very
    precise and the kiln would exceed the PMC firing temp during the
    "soaking time."  Not to mention firing up a big kiln to do a few
    tiny bits of jewelry is expensive. 

    Although I've not tried it yet, there is a new PMC that can be fired
    with a hot air gun!  It's called PMC3.  If you're not familiar with
    the PMC website, here's a link
    <http://www.pmclay.com/frames/welnewsF.html>   

    The Users Manual (covers all forms of PMC) can be downloaded from
    this link <http://www.pmclay.com/frames/welnewsF.html> 

    An alternative to fire your regular PMC would be to locate someone
    who conducts classes near you and have them fire your pieces.  Have
    fun Judy in Kansas
