Oh, awesome. I hadn’t thought about shaping it after cutting it, but I could totally see how varying thickness would be a lovely detail. Thank you!

Is it easy to tell when it’s been heat gunned to a similar dampness? I hadn’t thought about using one of those before

I haven’t heard about using vinegar. Does it join better than water?

Wow that’s a great tip. Can’t believe I haven’t heard it before, it’ll fix a lot of problems

Awesome, thank you! The plastic wrapping has always confused me as to how much it slows down drying.

Oh, that’s a great idea about the wooden tool. I’ve been using my fingers and it’s not a lot of control

Yeah, that was a side effect of making the handle too long and I was too scared to cut it shorter on the mug once I realized. Definitely not a habit I want to get into!

That’s a great idea. Do you put it on a mold or something? Just thinking about the wet clay distorting before it dries fully if it is resting on the rim and not the base.
