Can I attach to already-fired pieces of PMC together? Can I add a piece of newly modeled, unfired PMC onto a piece that has already been fired?
Yes. When adding fresh PMC to bond with metal that is already hard, you should extend the firing time to at least double the normal schedule. This allows the silver particles from one to penetrate into each other. Extend the time, but not the temp. You can go up to 1650oF (900C) safely, but no higher.
