    You can use PMC with polymer clay.  Here's how it is most commonly
    done: 

    Make your piece in PMC, usually creating an opening or bezel of some
    sort with the PMC. 

    Fire and polish. 

    Make a polymer clay whatever, to go into the space created in the
    PMC. Bake the polymer clay in the oven at 275 for 20 minutes. 

    You can't do it the other way around, can't put polymer clay in the
    kiln.
