Question Posted By: Paul kricorian Sunday, December 10 2006 10:51:46 Suggest Answer

What is the approximate working time for "American clay Marblex Self-Hardening Gray Clay". If it is short, what can I add to extend it's working time. I am a classroom 3D technology design teacher - projects can take up to three-four days...hence the question. Thanks in advance for your assitance. Paul K

    Paul,

    When working with Marblex, Stonex or Mexican Pottery clays you can slow down the drying time by spritzing with water and then draping with plastic. At the end of the project and you do want it to dry then just remove the plastic and dry on a drying rack. It ususally takes 24 to 48 hours to dry.
