How much Precious Metal Clay do I get in a packet?

How much do you get in a packet

If you have never bought PMC before, it's difficult to judge how much you will get and what you can make with a certain sized packet.

Here is what you get in an 18g packet of PMC.

Here is a side on view. We have tried to stand the clay on it's edge

And the same piece rolled out to it's minimum thickness before firing

"Wolf - I don't know how much 1 cubic CM of fired clay (.999 silver) weighs. However, if you multiply that figure by 1.11, you will get the weight of the original clay used."

"Thanks for that. It does help. What I would liketo know even more is how many grams of raw clay per cubic centimeter for PMC3. I found this info for it after being fired, but still can't find it for the raw clay."

"Thanks! What a fab idea!
It's a little less than I thought sadly but it's still really good to know so I can work out how much to order."
