    Silver PMC on Bronze

     Hello all

    I have just had my first bronze projects fired!  They all survived the process with no problems and I love the patina they developed.  I am loving this stuff!

    My question is about combining silver and bronze after the bronze has been sintered.  Has anyone had any success and what did you do?  

     I have thought about trying semi-mechanical connections by adding silver clay through a hole in the finished bronze and torch firing.  I am guessing the lower temp will not cause the bronze to "eat" the silver.

     I made a "throw away" bronze piece to experiment on so I am not risking much...just some pmc3.  

    My goal is to set stones in the bronze pieces so I have several different methods in mind but I would love to learn from your experience before I make a mess!

    Thanky so much!
