    No Laura, 

    It is you, Elaine and the others who claim that PMC has the same
    density as cast fine silver that are presenting demonstrably false
    information. Just do a specific gravity test, you will see. It is
    true that the most recent PMC products are an improvement on the
    earlier material but it is still a sintered product and it can not
    be be fully dense without high pressure processing. 

    There are many here with strong opinions much of it gathered from a
    lifetime of working with metal. Some of us often disagree but we all
    learn from the exchanges. So if you cannot handle an open discussion
    where all are able to discuss the pros and cons of a material or
    process <> go to a PMC only one where you can preach to the choir.
    Otherwise stay and carefully read everyones posts even those you
    disagree with and you will find that there is a huge amount of real
    knowledge here and you might even learn something you did not know.
