SOMETIMES USING THIN SHEET PLASTIC IS NOT ENOUGH TO GET THE RIGHT DRYNESS
TO ACHIEVE IDEAL TRIMMING TEXTURE. IF THE MOISTURE CONDENSES ON THE
PLASTIC, THE CLAY DOESN'T MATURE TO THE RIGHT LEATHER HARDNESS. IF THE FORM
ALLOWS, I LAY SEVERAL THICKNESS OF NEWSPAPER ON THE WARE AND IT ABSORBS THE
FREE MOISTURE. PLAY WITH THAT FOR A WHILE. IT WORKS ESPECIALLY WELL ON FLAT
FORMS SHERE YOU WANT THE TOP AND BOTTOM TO DRY EVENLY. !!!NO CRACKS!!!

THE WIND IS ABOUT TWO MILES PER HOUR.
