Q & A

What is the recommended state of clay for recycling?

The recommended state of clay for recycling is dry. Dry clay is much simpler to work with because it dissolves very quickly when in contact with water.

What materials are needed for recycling clay?

The materials needed for recycling clay are a basin of water, dry clay, and a gypsum disc (or a scalpel if you don't know how to make gypsum discs).

How do you prepare the dry clay for recycling?

The dry clay should be broken into pieces, not too small, using a hammer, saw, or any other tool you prefer. These pieces should then be immersed in the basin of water.

How long should the clay pieces be left in the water?

The clay pieces should be left in the water for at least one day, but can be left for up to two or three days. There is no specific rule for the duration.

What should be done with the water after soaking the clay?

The water used for soaking the clay should not be poured down the sink. Instead, it should be collected and reused, as demonstrated in the video.

What is the purpose of the gypsum disc?

The gypsum disc is used for drying the clay after it has been reconstituted from the soaked pieces.

How can the liquid portion of the soaked clay be separated?

To separate the liquid portion of the soaked clay, you can create a hole in the gypsum disc and pour the more liquid part of the clay through it.
