Hi all,
I have been thrilled with my experiences with paperclay
and it has now become my favorite clay because it can
do so much. But I'm wondering... my reclaim bucket, which
contains ^6 paperclay (and all other ^6 clays I dabble in)
is fermenting like mad. The odor is rather dramatic. Is
this a health hazard? When I use it, will it work the same
as it did new or will the paperpulp all have rotted away
before it hits the kiln shelf?
Any help would be appreciated. I'm using it, but I'm also
wondering if I should be.

I also use paperclay and it does the same thing..doesnt seem to hurt it
but the addition of a little chlorine bleach will stop it from
fermenting..

I've heard that paper pulp should have a splash of chlorine bleach mixed
into it if it's going to be stored for any length of time.
