    Although you COULD make a mold from fired PMC, you will need to
    realize that when you reproduce that way, you need to reconsider the
    shrinkage since the raw PMC put into the mold will result in a
    smaller piece. 

    PMC products shrink from 15- aprox 30% depening which kind of PMC
    product you are using.
