Gold clay from
PMC and Art Clay
GOLD-Using PMC Gold--NEW!
This 22 karat material is an alloy of 91.7% gold and 8.3%
silver, refined into microscopic particles that fuse at
relatively low temperatures. This unique combination provides
rich yellow color and unusual strength. PMC Gold can be
used alone, or as a decorative element on silver items.
Consider these possibilities: Co-fire silver and gold PMC
side by side Layer silver and gold to make precious metal
woodgrain patterns Solder or fuse PMC Gold elements to fabricated
and cast items As with silver PMC, you can rehydrate with
clean water, and make your own slip from sanding dust. Because
Gold PMC has the working properties of PMC3, we suggest
that newcomers test ideas in that material. Working
with PMC Gold Artists who have used other versions
of PMC before will find that the gold is slightly denser.
This will make it feel a little stiffer, and explains why
it will take longer for water to penetrate. Before using,
knead the material while it is still in its plastic wrapping
to loosen the structure. Add small amounts of water to compensate
for drying during working, but be conservative. Seal unused
material to retain moisture. Use wood, plastic, rubber,
and steel tools. Finishing is done just like any precious
metal, including abrasives, tumbling, hand burnishing, and
polishing compounds. PMC Gold can be soldered with any gold
solder below 22 karat. Firing PMC Gold As with
other metal clays, allow the work to dry, preferably overnight.
Drying may be hastened with moderate heat. The recommended
firing apparatus is a programmable electric kiln, which
provides dependable control. Schedule A: 900º C (1650º F)
at least 10 minutes Schedule B: 850º C (1560º F) at least
30 minutes Schedule C: 750º C (1380º F) at least 60 minutes
Schedule D: 700º C (1290º F) at least 90 minutes Torch
Firing It is also possible to fire PMC Gold with any
jewelers torch. Dry completely, set work on a soldering
pad, and bring to a red glow. Hold at this temperature for
at least two minutes.

Aura 22 — A New Idea in Gold Embellishment
Concept
Tiny particles of pure gold (91.6%) are blended with 8.4%
fine silver particles to create a precious metal with deep
yellow color and the ability to fuse to silver at relatively
low temperatures. The result is a layer of gold that is
considerably thicker than possible with electroplating.
Uses:
Aura 22 is ideally suited to work with all versions
of PMC and metal clay. It can also be used on wrought
fine silver and, with care, on sterling that has been
properly prepared (see be low). Unlike electroplating,
Aura 22 requires no special equipment. Because it can
be painted on, Aura 22 offers gestural responses unlike
any other gold layering process. It is especially recommended
for heavily textured surfaces, and for embellishing
areas that would be difficult to cover with alternative
techniques. Aura 22 involves almost no waste and a relatively
small investment. A one gram package can usually embellish
20-30 objects.
