Instructions

Versatile, adhesive slip. Sticks to anything other than glossy surfaces. Relatively quick drying, low shrinkage. Good for attaching bone dry to bone dry clay, bisqueware to greenware, etc. Should be applied thick for best adhesion. To alter the recipe for a robust paper clay sculpture body, remove UF Grog and Darvan, change OM 4 to 10%, and add 2% bentonite.
