    Actually, I would think that because PMC is made up of finely ground
    particles of fine silver, one and organic material, one would be much
    better off  firing the product, turning it in as scrap to get a bit
    of money back. Reconstituting on your own is also an option. But,
    rather than using water, I keep hearing you should use glycerine /
    water mix. Only a drop or so into dried, ground up PMC, let it sit a
    day or two, check it out. If more liquid is needed add it sparingly.
