i do alot of sculpture work and i find that lanas magic water is the best
thing around. i always keep a gallon mixed and on hand. i sometimes make
slip with it but i also use it in place of slip. it makes the piece
stronger and binds one part to another better than anything else i have
used. this is a tip that i also use with the magic water. dont know if
anyone else uses it or not but i also keep some in a spray bottle and mist
all of my sculpture pieces before covering to slow dry. it seems to help
with the strength of the sculpture. sense i have been doing this i havent
had hardly any cracking of the peice at all. very little in fact. hope this
helps some of you out.
