Not only that, but it's also a natural bug repellant. Use it
sparingly, though.

Hi Ivor,
It may be cheaper in Australia, but Tea Tree Oil is pretty expensive in the
US.
Hope all is well.

In regard to the smell of paper clay, I just pretend I am a dung beetle.
Just feeling silly at the end of a good day.

tea tree!
it's a lovely smell and that's what i used. the herb aroma took over the
rotten smell, i still don't know if it actually eliminates the bad odor
but it was instantaneous and i only used 4 drops for a 25 pounds batch,
mixing vigorously right way. i'll keep you posted if the smell comes back
untill the time of use.
it's true that tea tree oil is much more expensive than lavender oil here
in New Jersey, but since i'm an essential oils sucker i had them both and
chose the more woody fragrancy as well as anti bacterial quality that
seemed to make more sense :^)
thanks to all
Love

You know, Paper clay can be made with pure cotton pulp instead of
ordinary paper and it will not go bad and smell.
Go to a specialty store or internet location that sells paper making
supplies for artists. They will have dried pure cotton pulp in
sheets. Looks a lot like blotter paper. This is sort of an instant
paper pulp as all you have to do is soak it in water and it becomes
pulp, ready to add to the clay.

Lavender oil IS antibacterial.
Early Lavender History
One of the earliest recorded claims of Lavender oil's therapeutic
qualities comes from the nineteenth century when tuberculosis and
infection was rampant in France. It was found that the people working
in the lavender fields of Provence were far less likely to succumb to
infection and respiratory ailments, such as tuberculosis which was
virtually unknown in the area. This discovery led to the first
clinical tests in 1887 which were to prove the antibacterial
properties of lavender essential oil.

Gee Fred, I've had cotton succumb to those nasty smelling bacteria.
Maybe it takes longer, but it rots for sure; it's organic.
