| HOW
SHOULD YOU FIRE YOUR PMC?
|
| TORCH |
A small butane torch is an easy way to fire PMC+ and PMC3
and is inexpensive. However, it is labor intensive and you can only fire one
piece at a time. In addition, you cannot fire PMC3 with embedded glass this
way. It's not a bad way to start out but we don't recommend this as your
long term solution. Approx. Retail Price: $50 |
| HOTPOT |
I no longer sell or recommend the HotPot but only because we
experienced a high instance of cracking during shipping or first firing. I
loved this thing but.... it it can't get there from here... |
| SPEEDCONE(TM) FIRING SYSTEM |
This is a new alternative. A fiber cone sits on top of a
propane tank (small or large) and fires several pieces just like the hot
pot. It's a little scarier than the HotPot but, once you get over that, it
works great. Approx. Retail Price: $150.00. We will be carrying this product
shortly. |
| KILN |
In the long run, a kiln is the best way to go. No open
flame, fires all types of PMC with inclusions plus ceramics, enameling and
glass. More expensive but worth the investment if you are really 'into' PMC.
Price Range: $300 - $1200 depending on model. We carry a wide range of kilns
- call or email for advice. |
