Workability
|
Working ACS 950 is not significantly different from working with regular ACS. If the clay feels a little stiff when first taking out of the package, knead well before use. For short-term storage, use a clay hydrator. For long-term storage, seal clay tightly in plastic wrap and store in a refrigerator
