I never thought of THAT cool trick..., thanks Sarah!!! 😎😎😎 What I HAVE tried is kinda' cool... Instead of just breaking an old project into pieces, I have run mine over an old metal box grater and collected the shreds, added boiling water and turned it into slip. If you do a lot of sanding on your projects, do it over a bowl or something else to catch the dust - Again, add boiling water and SHAZAM.., you've made slip! HOPE you have an awesome week and as always, thanks for another great video!!! 💚 💛 💜

I hope you try it. Thanks great tips. I've tried catching the dust when it's not windy outside but I always find I have little bits of sandpaper in with it too, so not useable, great you can use it, thank you 💜

Thanks so much for sharing this! I've been losing my mind a little trying to find as sustainable and eco-friendly a type of clay I possibly can. It's comforting knowing I might be able to get more use of unfinished works later on.

Most definitely, I often make things, don’t seal them and then reuse if I know I’m not going to keep the item long or if I’m just creating for fun and not to keep the final item and don’t tell anyone but I often filter the kids bits and pieces and recycle them too as they love the process much more too, I do obviously keep their special ones but we can’t keep everything!!! ♻️ thanks and best of luck 💚

Hi, we boil the water to clean it, so it does not need to be boiling or hot when you use it no, although a bit of warmth could speed up the process, it's not necessary. Best of luck 😊

@RedRockingBird Жыл бұрын

Is it stuck to a porous surface? It will try to stick to a porous surface, but once fully dry would lift straight off a smooth non porous surface. I’d get something like a table knife and try to get the flat of it under it, best of luck, let me know how you get on ❤️

That's all very nice and well, however,... I had a 500 gram packet, used just a little bit and because of circumstances I forgot all about it. Had it wrapped up nice and securely, however not preventing it from hardening over time. About a year later I rediscovered it and threw the solid chunck in a fitting container... to forget about it again. About two months later I mushed it up with a putty knife and squished it into a letter mold... wish me luck?
