Preparing Dry Clays
Always mix dry clay in a closed polyethylene bag. Combine one pound of dry clay with four to five ounces of water or 28% water by weight. Expel air in the bag and tie opening securely with string. Knead until clay and water are mixed thoroughly. Aging 24 hours or longer improves plasticity.

Packaging:
Moist Clay: Two 25 lb. blocks of clay in polyethelene bags are packed in a 50 lb. carton.
Dry Clay: 50 lb. dry modeling clay is supplied in multi-wall kraft bag.
