    I've been working with PMC for about four years and use hydrocloric
    acid solutions aka Black Max, Silver Black all the time.  It works
    great.  Use it full strength for a very dark black color or dilute it
    with a little water to soften the color to a pewter gray or lighter. 
    Just be sure to neutralize with a baking soda/water bath.  I turn on
    the tap and pour it down the drain to dispose of.  Leave the water
    running for a couple of minutes to be sure the stuff is fully diluted. 

    I'm glad to see interest in Metal Clay in this wonderful community. 
    It's a great new medium which we're all still learning about.
