Greetings Jewelers: 

    It's not that hard to have all the clay-like flexibility of PMC and
    the look and price of a cast piece. I make models out of
    Primo-Sculpy and a silicone mold of these models with Sorta-Clear 18,
    a Smooth-On product sold by Reynolds. I pour wax into the molds and
    cast these wax patterns conventionally. If you attach two
    Primo-Sculpy "wires" to your model--one as a pouring channel and
    sprue and one as an air vent, you won't even need to use a wax
    injector. Just pour molten wax into the mold. 

    Someday I will perform last rites over my wallet and try Pricey
    Metal Clay. I will see if it is easier to use than Primo-Sculpy and
    a silicone mold.
