Can I enamel a piece of metal clay which I’ve already tumble polished?
If you want to refire, enamel or solder on a piece of metal clay that has been tumble polished, you may find that moisture has got trapped in the metal. When you heat it again, especially if you heat it fast, the moisture turns to steam and may cause a blister on the surface. You need to dry the piece thoroughly if you have quenched the metal following the initial firing.

How do I laminate PMC sheet?
Cut two identical sized pieces of PMC sheet. Lightly brush water onto one piece and immediately put the other piece on top, being careful to line up the edges. Press down gently to get as many air bubbles out as possible. If you want a completely flat laminated sheet, put something heavy on top of the piece to keep it flat while it dries.
