Thank you so much for posting all of this info in one place. I hadn’t seen Hadar’s firing schedule for BC yet so this was especially helpful. Please keep up the good work!

Fantastic resource Elaine, thank you!
Youyr blog is great, always something interesting to find.
Thanks again,

Thanks!
At least I see from Sabine that I can combine PMC with Bronzclay. I want to set unsintered silver, holding fused glass, to a sintered bronze piece. Will that work? If I do as Sabine did, I can set the stone with paste/syringe and then fire at a low fire that will sinter the PMC and only fire-polish the glass. What do you think? Grannilynn of Florida
I don’t think that would work. I would probably do it as three separate firings.
