So I put clay in a bag and then I pour in some slip and mush it up a bit. I keep it on hand all the time. It's possible to fix any project if you take the time. Wendy I just thought of one more tip. Let your mold completely dry out before you pour a mug. This will cure your plaster so that the mold will last longer. I use a high grade mold plaster that is $36 per bag. I hope your choice will work well for you. [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2012-02-29 12:51 ]
