Hi All,

I find that if you apply wax out of a squeeze bottle you get such a nice
thick application that stuff tends to stick to it less and what does
stick to it is easier to remove by scraping with a knife and taking a bit
of the thick wax too.

About latex, I just pre-dip the DRY brush in any dish detergent and then
after using dip the brush again in the liquid detergent and rub all the
latex off before using water. No more wrecked brushes.

Cheers on a sunny Sunday morning.

Got my paperclay drying in pillowcases hanging from the rafters in my studio.
BTW I got my pulp from a local mill, enough to do a first batch.
Thankyou Clayarters for these tips. Will be using the paperclay for tiles.
