Question Posted By: Jason Thursday, May 10 2007 19:19:11 Suggest Answer

I have a ton of clay that was recently subjected to a very hard winter, and has undergone the freeze thaw factor. I re-wetted the clay and puged it up, but my clay seems to be is short, “that of having no elasticity". I have let my clay age for 2 weeks after puging but it is still very short, and has no elasticity. Is their anything I can do, or ad to my clay to re-establish the elasticity that of need for wheel throwing?
Thanks, Jason
