So the pile of “slop” reclaim is finally dried out enough and getting back to
a good clay consistency. So tonight I tackled the huge pile of reclaim.
It was a long night of wedging and incorporating the reclaim clay with some
new clay fresh from the box. Generally, when I’m bringing my “reclaim back to life”
I mix it with new clay so it’s not “just” used reclaim clay. I want to make sure that
there are plenty of small clay particles in the mixture – and not just my worn out reclaim.
So it was a LONG night of reconstituting my reclaim… mixing the reclaim with some
new soda clay and some new B Clay from Continental Clay.
Slice. Layer. Slice. Layer. Slice. Layer. Pound. Cut. Layer. Pound. Cut. Layer. Pound.
Slice. Layer. Slice. Layer. Slice. Layer. Pound. Cut. Layer. Pound. Cut. Layer. Pound.
Slice. Layer. Slice. Layer. Slice. Layer. Pound. Cut. Layer. Pound. Cut. Layer. Pound.
Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Bag.
Not a glamorous night of clay. But in the end, I now have a lot of clay to use.
And I got a good upper body workout at the same time!
