BENEFITS OF PAPER CLAY -
- Green strength: The knitting together of the paper fibres adds considerable strength when dry. This added strength is a bonus when coping with rough handling and misadventure when transporting.
- Joining: Can be done at any stage. Best joined at firm leather hard stage, but with care wet paper clay can be successfully joined to dry and vice versa by scratching and gluing with paper clay slurry. Reinforce with coils where possible.
- Repairs: Breakages are easily repaired by simply joining with paper clay slip. Should cracks appear, putty crack with more paper clay. This can also be successful even after the bisque firing.
