Hi, Mona,

    You're more likely to find people who know about such things on a
    ceramics listserve. However, there is an article on the 2004 PMC
    Conference site (which is somewhat difficult to negotiate--you need
    to find the page that lists the PDFs of the handouts for the
    Albuquerque conference) 

    http://www.pmc-conference.com/ 

    which talks about the hazards of trying to combine relatively
    high-fire ceramics and PMC. You can, however, incorporate it easily
    with low-fire bisque--there's an article listed on that, too; see
    also: 

    http://www.wholelottawhimsy.com/ 

    There used to be articles on the PMC Guild site, but they've closed
    the archives to non-members (I complained, but never got a response).
    Some potters ran experiments and found that PMC would simply fall off
    some glazes, if I remember correctly. 

    If your friend wants to use it with greenware, it becomes very
    complicated, because you have to allow for differences in shrinkage,
    as well as the low temperature required. 

Good luck!
