Excellent video, thanks for sharing

If using a silicone mold for clay foam: if you get tiny bubbles...any idea to eliminate them? I have a heat gun. (Im doing filigree designs. Intricate scrolling detail) and the details are great, but it gets bubbles as it dries. Would heat while still wet or in the process of drying it help? Because iVe tried adding drops of water before working the clay. Ive tried pressing harder. Weights on top. Ive also tried waiting longer for it to cure. No luck. And I cant sand as Id lose the detail =/ Thank you! 😊

I believe you can remoisten the clay in the container to keep it from drying out.

It may be possible but you have to be careful with how much water is put in. I know that exposure to too much water or prolonged exposure will actually dissolve and liquify the clay completely.

Or maybe I should pull it out of the mold earlier? Im listening right now to you talking about shrinking and bowing, so maybe the bubbles are happening as the front of the design is obviously drying last?

I’d try removing it from the mold earlier, it could be the bubbles are forming either from it shrinking at different rates or from air getting trapped between the foam and mold as it dries
