Three quick questions

Wow, thanks! I've archived your response to be able to consult it later.

What this is about, if anyone is curious, is that I really want to start putting some dichroic stuff into my work... and my partner has expressed an interest in glass fusing *and* in PMC. So he's going to get a kiln and a glass fusing book for Christmas. New toy!

For PMC I would recommend using a piece of fiber board or paper to keep the kiln shelf clean for the glass. PMC has an organic binder that leaves behind a residue (maybe oil?).

Now that I have the kiln for it, I can't WAIT to try PMC!!! Kathy, where is the best place to get it and how much can I expect to pay? Also, is there a good site online for basic info? I want to use it with glass, of course!

Most places offer the same retail - approx 27.00/small pack.

Since you are going to use glass get the PMC3.

And PMC supply

I read forward in the thread and so now I don't have to post anything, because Louis already covered everything I had to say! The Gil Reynolds book is called The Fused Glass Handbook, and it's an excellent starter guide.
